Hotline Open For Questions On The Kansas Special Session

Legislative experts are available to answer questions about the Kansas special session.

Cindy Roupe is with the State Library of Kansas, which operates a legislative hotline. She says librarians can provide information such as how to contact a legislator, what bill numbers are being considered and how the legislative process works.

“Because if you don’t deal with this day-in and day-out, you don’t really understand what a conference committee does, how a conference committee works. We can help them through that process,” Roupe sats.

The state library is accepting calls at 1-800-432-3924, and texts at 785-256-0733. Help is available year-round, but Roupe says it may be especially useful during the special session when things will be moving quickly.
