Highlights from the Kansas Legislature
Highlights of Wednesday’s activities at the Kansas Legislature:
— Legislators are unlikely to discuss a bill this year to ban human and therapeutic cloning, a House committee chairman said.
— A House committee endorsed a bill under which the state would set minimum health and safety standards for abortion clinics.
Also:
— A bill requiring all minors to wear seat belts or ride in special safety seats won Senate approval on a 30-9 vote.
— A bill designed to protect women who want to breast-feed their babies in public won a Senate committee’s endorsement after members made a small — but important — change sought by the measure’s backers.
Clock is ticking:
Wednesday was the 66th calendar day of the session, out of 90 scheduled.
