HB 2029 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Reconciling multiple amendments to certain statutes.

This bill designates a specific segment of K-5 highway in Wyandotte County (from the junction of K-5 and N. 18th Street west to N. 38th Street) as the "Representative Marvin S. Robinson II Memorial Highway." It also redesignates a portion of Interstate 635 (from the Kansas-Missouri border south to its junction with K-5 highway) as the "Harry Darby Memorial Highway." The bill requires the Kansas Secretary of Transportation to install highway signs marking both routes, following standard procedures. This is a procedural memorial designation with no substantive policy changes to transportation law.

MINOR

The bill's title was updated to reflect Senate Committee amendments. The substantive policy content remains largely the same, but the text was reorganized to merge the Senate and House committee amendments into a single, sequential version. A minor technical addition was made to the effective date section, specifying that the law takes effect upon publication in both the statute book and the Kansas register.

TECHNICAL

The header was changed from 'As Amended by House Committee' to 'As Amended by Senate Committee' to indicate the current legislative status.

The body text was restructured to combine the House and Senate committee amendments into one continuous flow, removing the duplicate section headers.

The phrase 'Kansas register' was added to the effective date clause to clarify the publication requirement for the law to take effect.
