Legislative
Alert: HB 2530
CONTACT THE
SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE IMMEDIATELY AND ASK THEM
TO VOTE "YES" ON HB HB
2530
Please contact members of the Kansas
Senate Judiciary Committee immediately and ask them
to vote "yes" on HB
2530.
HB
2530 exempts physicians and other health
care workers from claims under the Kansas Consumer
Protection Act, as reported in the March 12 KVMA Legislative
Bulletin.
The bill passed the Kansas House of
Representatives late last week by a vote of 114-9
and was heard on Wednesday morning, March 21 in the
Senate Judiciary Committee.
The KVMA staff and legal counsel worked
hard to insure that veterinarians were included in
the provisions of HB
2530 and feel that was accomplished
in the House Judiciary Committee.
Again, contact the Senate
Judiciary Committee and ask them to vote "yes"
on HB
2530.

Bill
Banning Vaccines with Any Level of Mercury to Be Heard
SB
1 provides
that on or after July, 2008, no vaccine in the state
shall contain any level of mercury and that using them
knowingly after that point would be a class C misdemeanor.
The measure will be heard in the Senate
Public Health and Welfare Committee on Thursday, March
22.
The bill was heard before the same legislative
body last year and received no action. Considering that
and the fact that Saturday is the deadline for second
house consideration, hopefully the bill does not have
strong legs and the prospects for action are not good.
The KVMA staff, however, will follow Wednesday's
developments with great interest and will keep you posted
in future legislative bulletins. Back
