The Honorable Elaine Bowers, Chairperson
Senate Committee on Local Government, Transparency and Ethics
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 142-S
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Senator Bowers:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 40 by Senator Shallenburger
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 40 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
SB 40 would require any candidate campaign account for any person elected to state or
local office that has decided not to run in the next election or is defeated by a candidate to be
terminated 90 days after the second subsequent general election for such office in which the person
is not elected. The treasurer for such candidate campaign account would be required to dispose of
any residual funds and file a termination report.
The Office of the Secretary of State and the Governmental Ethics Commission indicate
enactment of the bill would have a minimal fiscal effect on the agencies that could be handled
within existing resources. Any fiscal effect associated with SB 40 is not reflected in The FY 2026
Governor’s Budget Report.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
