Kansas House approves medical marijuana; Senate won't follow

By ANDY TSUBASA FIELDMay 7, 2021 GMT
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas House voted for the first time Thursday to legalize medical marijuana in the state, but Republican leaders signaled the Senate wouldn’t consider the bill in the final days of the legislative session.

Before the House advanced the measure on a 79-42 vote, Senate President Ty Masterson’s spokesperson, Mike Pirner, told The Associated Press that a budget bill and school funding legislation have emerged as higher priorities for the Senate this week.
Thirty-six states allow medical marijuana and Kansas is only one of three states that doesn’t have a comprehensive medical or recreational marijuana program or allow limited medical use of low THC cannabidiol products, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures website. Some Kansas lawmakers in favor of the bill said the state shouldn’t wait for the federal government to act.

By the Associated Press:
A bill to legalize medical marijuana has passed in the Kansas House for the first time, but the Senate isn’t expected to consider it in the final days of the annual session.
Kansas House members on Thursday voted 79-42 to advance the measure to the Senate for consideration.
Although some legalization advocates were hopeful that strong support for the bill among Republicans in the House would spur Senate leaders to debate it this session, Senate President Ty Masterson’s spokesperson, Mike Pirner, told The Associated Press that a budget bill and school funding legislation have taken priority this week.

Kansas racial justice commission urges legislators to ban no-knock warrants | News, Sports, Jobs - Lawrence Journal-World: news, information, headlines and events in Lawrence, Kansas

Andy Tsubasa Field, Associated Press
TOPEKA– A commission established by Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly in response to the mass civil unrest over racial injustice earlier this year is urging state lawmakers to ban officers from entering a home without announcing their presence, but it’s unclear how aggressively the Legislature will pursue it.
The recommendation by the Governor’s Commission on Racial Justice and Equity is modeled after federal legislation proposed this year by Democrats in Congress amid a growing call to ban “no-knock” search warrants after Breonna Taylor was killed in her Louisville home by officers in March.
The practice has since been banned in several cities, including Louisville. In October, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam signed a statewide ban against the use of no-knock warrants, joining Oregon and Florida.
