Kansas Lawmakers Repel Governor's Order Limiting Church Gatherings

 

Kansas lawmakers have overturned Governor Laura Kelly's most recent executive order limiting church gatherings and funerals to 10 or less people. Kelly made the order on Tuesday, but the Legislative Coordinating Council voted 5-2 Wednesday to overturn the order.

 

Attorney General Derek Schmidt was one of the first to speak out about the order, saying that while the order was sound medical advice and should be followed, the governor cannot take the COVID-19 pandemic as a chance to infringe upon constitutional rights. This sentiment was echoed by several Republican lawmakers, including Senate President Susan Wagle.
