Message to the House of Representatives of the State of Kansas:
Pursuant to Article 2, Section 14 of the Constitution of the
State of Kansas, I hereby veto House Bill 2700.
I support the good public policy of prohibiting persons convicted of
the crimes enumerated in House Bill 2700 from working in an adult care facility.
However, as written, House Bill 2700 allows the public release of confidential
non-conviction data contrary to other provisions of law.
I hope the legislature will address these issues and concerns during
the next legislative session.
Dated: May 8, 2000
