Several new laws are set to take effect in Kansas on January 1, 2025, covering a range of topics including driving privileges and legislative pay.
Individuals who have limited driving privileges as a result of misdemeanor traffic offenses are permitted to drive for important activities such as dropping off their kids at school, purchasing groceries, and attending religious services, according to one law.
In an effort to address legislative compensation and the pay rates for certain state officials and judges, a new law known as House Substitute for Senate Bill 229 has been enacted. This law also establishes a commission that will study and make recommendations on these matters. For more information on the specifics of this legislation, please refer to the full details provided here.
