Governor Looks To Support Flood Relief Efforts

 

Making it easier to help.  To expedite emergency relief and restoration efforts associated with recent flooding in Kansas and neighboring states, Kansas Governor Laura Kelly issues an executive order temporarily exempting commercial motor carriers and operators from parts of the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Regulations while traveling in Kansas and participating in disaster operations.  The regulation exemptions include licensing, certification and permitting; fuel tax permits, and other rules that will allow motor carriers to more quickly bring in necessary supplies and equipment to aid in relief efforts.  Heavy rains and spring snow melts are causing moderate flood conditions along the Missouri River in several states, including Kansas, and is expected to increase to major flooding in the next few days. Doniphan, Marshall and Jefferson Counties have issued local disaster declarations. 

 

In other news from under the dome, Mrs. Kelly applauds the passage of Medicaid Expasion by the Kansas House.  The plan will allow up to 150,000 more Kansans access to affordable healthcare, and support local hospitals and clinics. The Kansas Senate is the next stop for the bill.
