It may end on Friday, period, without being renewed, depending on what legislative leaders do Wednesday with it. The feeling is that it s time to be done.
Under new law passed this year, Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly has less power over taking executive action regarding disaster emergencies such as COVID-19.
Whereas before such requests for emergency extensions happened under the State Finance Council, in which the governor chaired over GOP legislative leaders, they now will happen solely under the jurisdiction of the Legislative Coordinating Council, comprised of only legislative leaders.
