Providing for the adjournment of the senate and the house of representatives for a period of time during the 2026 regular session of the legislature.
This bill sets the schedule for the 2026 Kansas legislative session, requiring the Senate and House to pause operations from February 19 to February 24. During this break, key staff members will remain on duty to handle urgent messages from the governor and other necessary business, while Sunday is excluded from the pause. The legislation also stops lawmakers from receiving daily pay or meal allowances for days when both chambers are closed for more than two days, though exceptions allow for travel and living expenses if legislators attend authorized meetings or conference committee sessions.
