Kansas lawmakers finish work, set brief ceremony

Kansas legislators have finished their work and adjourned their annual session except for a brief, formal ceremony to mark its end.

The Senate adjourned at 5:45 p.m. It did so shortly after passing a bill containing budgets for the fiscal year beginning July 1 and for the following fiscal year.

The House passed the same bill and adjourned at 6:55 p.m.

The only scheduled business left for lawmakers is a brief adjournment ceremony scheduled for June 26. However, they can do business on that day if necessary.

Saturday was the 113th day of what was supposed to be a 100-day session. Only 2015’s session was longer at 114 days.
