Good afternoon, 

The House Committee on Commerce, Labor and Economic Development will be hearing HB 2250, the Supported Decision-Making bill, and HB 2253, the Disability Hiring Preference bill on Thursday, February 9th at 1:30 pm in Room 346-S in the State Capitol building.  I've attached both bills below for your information.  

If these issues are important to you, you can contact Cindy Harris, committee assistant at 785-296-7685 to register to testify in person, virtually or in writing. She will tell you the things you need to know and you can ask any questions about the testimony and procedure in the committee room. I've attached the committee rules about testifying below so you'll know what the deadline is for submitting testimony and the other rules required by the chair.  If you have questions, please direct them to Cindy at the above telephone number. 

If you have questions about supported decision-making, please reach out to the Kansas Council on Developmental Disabilities (KCDD) at 877-431-4604 or email Sara Weir at [email protected] or Craig Knutson at [email protected].  

If you have questions about the Disability Hiring Preference you can contact Rocky Nichols at [email protected] or 785-273-9661 or you can contact me at [email protected] or 785-296-6525.  

Thank you for your attention.

Martha
