Substitute for SB 315 by Committee on Ways and Means - Making and concerning supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2026 and appropriations for fiscal years 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030 for various state agencies, authorizing certain capital improvement projects and fees, authorizing certain transfers.
SB 315 adjusts funding levels for various Kansas state regulatory boards and agencies for fiscal years 2026-2028. It increases budgets for agencies like the State Bank Commissioner ($13.99 million vs. $13.71 million) and Kansas Board of Barbering ($262,373 vs. $258,595), while decreasing funds for others, such as the State Board of Pharmacy ($3.21 million vs. $3.61 million). The bill modifies specific expenditure limits for these agencies' fee funds without changing their regulatory authority or policy functions. It directly affects state boards overseeing professions including barbering, pharmacy, nursing, and real estate.
