HCS HB 988 -- COUNTY POLITICAL PARTY COMMITTEES

SPONSOR:  May (Yates)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass" by the Committee on Elections
by a vote of 11 to 1.

This substitute increases the number of county political party
committee members to be elected from the second and third most
populous townships outside Kansas City in Jackson County.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2005, FY 2006, and
FY 2007.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the eastern part of Jackson
County is falling behind in county political party
representation, and the bill will help to equalize the
representation.

Testifying for the bill were Representatives Yates and LeVota.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
