Capitol Briefing

? 47 – The state Supreme Court has given lawmakers until April 12 to produce a

constitutional school finance plan.

Thursday’s highlights:

Court documents revealed that Kansas Atty. Gen. Phill Kline has launched a secret investigation into two abortion clinics and is demanding records of nearly 90 women who received abortions.

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius signed a repeal of the so-called “clunker law.” Last year, lawmakers passed a bill that resulted in higher sales taxes for many used car buyers. Legislators returned in 2005, saying it was unfair. A refund program for those who think they were cheated under the law will start next week.
