Topeka ? A bill that would heavily restrict sexually oriented businesses did not advance as Kansas lawmakers face key deadlines.

The Senate Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee debated the bill Wednesday. It was the last day the panel could meet before the Legislature’s annual “turnaround” deadline. With a 3-3 tie in voting on the measure, it will not advance.

Most bills must clear their original chamber by Friday or be discarded for the year.

The Senate Ethics and Elections Committee also deferred action on a bill that would suspend the state’s next presidential primary elections.

Lawmakers have canceled every one since 1992 because of the cost. Republicans and Democrats have held caucuses instead.

Senate President Sen. Susan Wagle, a Republican from Wichita, says Kansas should try to form a regional primary.
