SB 125 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Making and concerning supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2025 and appropriations for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 for various state agencies, authorizing certain capital improvement projects and fees, authorizing certain transfers authorizing the payment of certain claims against the state.

SB 125 authorizes specific payments from existing state funds to settle verified claims against Kansas state agencies. It directs the Department of Corrections to pay inmates for lost property (e.g., $50 to Perry Isley) and the Departments of Aging and Health to pay Hillside Village LLC $3,100 each for delays in processing home care eligibility that caused reimbursement losses. The bill does not create new programs or funding streams but authorizes state agencies to settle identified claims using current appropriations. It applies directly to the named claimants (inmates and Hillside Village LLC) and requires written releases before payments are made. The legislation is procedural, focusing solely on settling specific, documented claims rather than policy changes.
