Advocacy in Action ~ January 2024

The 2024 Kansas Legislature kicks off its 2024 session on January 8 with decisions about the state’s budget in general, funding special education, a proposed flat tax and Medicaid expansion looming large.
2024 is the second year of the legislature’s two-year biennium. The legislature works on a two-year cycle meaning that with some exceptions most legislation introduced in the first year (2023) remains alive through the end of the second year (2024). Also a factor in the dynamics of this session is that all 165 legislative seats – 125 House members and 40 Senators – are up for election this year.
