Informing the Governor that the two houses of the Legislature are organized and ready to receive communications during the 2026 session.
This bill is a procedural measure that formally notifies the Governor that both chambers of the Kansas Legislature are officially organized and prepared to begin their 2026 session. It directs the Chief Clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate to meet with the Governor to deliver this message and confirm that the legislature is ready to receive official communications. The resolution does not create new laws or policy changes but serves as an administrative step to establish the official start of the legislative year.
