Page 2—SB 13
The Secretary of State indicates SB 13 would result in an overall reduction in workload for
the agency and estimates a reduction in expenditures of $17,000 starting in FY 2026 from its fee
funds. This reduction could come from contractual services for information and technology
services. The agency’s employee who performs the filing of bonds for the bonded warehouseman
would be utilized for other projects and therefore could reduce the need for temporary or
contractual staff.
The Office of the Attorney General, the Kansas Water Office, and the Office of Judicial
Administration indicate SB 13 would not have a fiscal effect on agency operations. Any fiscal
effect associated with SB 13 is not reflected in The FY 2026 Governor’s Budget Report.
The Kansas Association of Counties indicates SB 13 would not have a fiscal effect on
counties.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
