Kansas Legislature Takes Long Weekend After Hitting Turnaround Deadline
Lawmakers return Tuesday as session shifts from committee work to floor debate
TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas legislators took Friday off after reaching the turnaround deadline Thursday, giving both chambers a long weekend before the session enters its next phase. The deadline marked the cutoff for non-exempt bills to be considered in their chamber of origin, effectively ending committee work on hundreds of the 779 House bills and 509 Senate bills introduced this session. Both the House and Senate adjourned until Tuesday, when attention will shift to floor debate as lawmakers begin sorting priorities for the remainder of the 2026 session.
