HB2328.  Judiciary. Creates a new crime of abusing toxic vapors, a Class B nonperson misdemeanor. The sniffing must be done with the intent to become high or low. In addition to fines/jail, abuser must enroll in and complete an alcohol and drug safety education or treatment program. The bill delineates what chemicals are included; the list is not all inclusive, so next year I suspect that an amendment will be offered to cover the loopholes. The stuff on the list is bad stuff - reading the MSDS for each one should be enough to scare off any rationale person.
HB2329.  Judiciary.
HB2343.  Business, Commerce, and Labor.
HB2369.  Rep. Grant.
HB2397.  Rep. Loyd.

Nothing in the bill talks about protecting the rights of individual citizens or ensuring a balance of philosophical viewpoints in those appointed. Appears to be a foot in the door for the socialists and radical environmentalists.
HB2480.  Insurance.  Adopts model legislation dealing with consumer privacy regarding health and financial records as drafted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
HB2481.  Financial Institutions.
HB2482.  Financial Institutions.

HCR5009.  Environment.  Urges Congress to appropriate funds through the federal farm program to assist states to conserve and preserve the High Plains Aquifer consistent with the recommendations of the Kansas Water Office.
HCR5011.  Many reps.  Asks Congress to provide lifetime health care benefits for military retirees and their families. This has already happened for retirees who joined prior to July (I believe) 1956.  This is the date when Congress passed a law that pulled the guarantee of lifetime health benefits. There is a continuing battle going on for those retiree who joined after 7/56.
