MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR

House Bill No. 2105

An Act concerning postsecondary educational institutions; prohibiting such institutions from certain actions concerning diversity, equity or inclusion, exceptions; providing for civil remedies and penalties; submitting a report to the legislature; posting information on the state board of regents website.

Message to the Legislature of the State of Kansas:

While I have concerns about this legislation, I don’t believe that the conduct targeted in this legislation occurs in our universities. We need to move forward and focus our efforts on making college more affordable and providing students from all backgrounds with the tools they need to succeed. I am focused on advancing policies that drive economic growth and develop tomorrow’s workforce. For that reason, I will allow the bill to become law without my signature.

Laura Kelly, Governor

Dated April 19, 2024.
