Chairwoman Warren opened the hearing on SB115. Jason Thompson, Revisor's Office, provided an overview of the bill and stood for questions. (Attachment1)
Matt Stephens, gave testimony in support of SB115. Stating his believe is the current notice requirement under K.S.A. 59-2133 does an injustice to this unique and vulnerable population. (Attachment 2).
Austin K.Vincent, gave testimony in support of SB115 , which addresses both issues of concern by reorganizing the statute and separating agency adoptions into two categories; the notice requirements for private agency adoptions and the more limited notice requirements for public agency adoptions.(Attachment 3)
