Topeka ? Gov. Kathleen Sebelius on Monday signed into law a $12.3 billion budget but said there is still a lot to do when lawmakers return for a wrap-up session Wednesday.

“We still have an opportunity to begin moving forward on health care, starting us down the path to a future in which every Kansan has access to quality care,” Sebelius said.

“We also have responsibilities to meet when it comes to maintenance on state buildings and in the area of work force development.”

The budget will govern spending for the fiscal year that starts July 1. It represents about a $400 million increase from the current budget.

But because of surging tax revenue, the budget will require no state tax increase. In fact, the Legislature approved tax cuts that will total approximately $30 million in the next year.

Among the big-ticket items, the new spending plan requires $186 million for the second year of a three-year school finance package and a $36 million increase for higher education.

When the session reconvenes Wednesday, Sebelius said, she hopes the Legislature will endorse her $10 million proposal to provide health care coverage for uninsured children from birth through 5.

And she said the Legislature must address the problem of repairs needed at Kansas Board of Regents universities, including Kansas University.

Sebelius has asked lawmakers to approve $62.7 million for the universities to handle immediate repair problems.

Regents schools have said their backlog of repairs will cost $663 million, but they have asked for $100 million per year to get a handle on the problem.
