Topeka ? The Kansas Senate approved a proposed $14.2 billion state budget on Wednesday that’s slightly more generous than one proposed by Gov. Sam Brownback.

Senators voted 39-1 to send the measure to the House after it was amended to include language from a House committee restricting abortion training at Kansas University Medical Center.

The bill cuts overall spending by almost 4 percent, or $572 million, during the fiscal year that begins July 1.

But it includes money for social service programs that Brownback didn’t include in his spending recommendations, with an additional $16 million for children’s programs and nearly $9 million to boost the pay of state workers whose salaries are below the pay for people with similar private sector jobs.

“We worked very hard to stick with the governor’s financial levels because our revenues haven’t totally recovered,” said Senate Ways and Means Chairwoman Carolyn McGinn, a Sedgwick Republican.

The plan would leave about $460 million in cash reserves at the end of June 2013. However, McGinn said that figure didn’t factor in $50 million in additional spending for public schools or $45 million aid to cities and counties to reduce property taxes that would have to come from reserves unless legislators reduce funding for other programs to offset the increases.

The abortion amendment borrows from a bill that cleared the House Federal and State Affairs Committee that would require students training to become doctors to use nonstate facilities to learn how to perform abortions. It also prohibits the use of any state tax dollars for the training.

The amendment’s supporters said it will put decisions about training in the hands of the medical center administration, working within parameters set forth by legislators. At issue is whether an outright ban on abortion training would compromise the medical center’s accreditation.
