Requiring all legislators and the spouses of legislators who are in leadership positions to disclose the amount of any salary they receive paid by public funds, providing that such information be published on the legislative website and requiring such information be provided in statements of substantial interest.
SB 483 requires Kansas legislators in leadership positions (such as Senate President or House Speaker) and their spouses to publicly disclose all salaries paid by public funds. This includes the position title, the public entity paying the salary, and the annual amount, which must be published on the legislative website and included in their "statements of substantial interest." The bill updates existing ethics rules to mandate this disclosure annually by January 15, with audits focusing on leadership members' accuracy. It does not apply to all legislators, only those in defined leadership roles and their spouses.
