Governor signs bill leveraging state funds for small business loans
Up to $60 million from the state’s coffers will be leveraged into small business loans under legislation signed into law Thursday by Gov. Laura Kelly, something advocates have deemed essential to help the state’s economy recover from COVID-19.

The bank or credit union, rather than the state, would bear the risk in the transaction.
