Ellis County residents no longer need to quarantine after they return from any place on the quarantine list maintained by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, which includes 23 counties in Colorado. Without taking a vote, Ellis County Commissioners Dean Haselhorst, Butch Schlyer and Neal Younger voiced consensus support at their Monday evening meeting for no longer enforcing the quarantine requirement. They made that move at the request of Jason Kennedy, director of Ellis County Health Services, who called the KDHE s travel quarantine list an unenforceable government mandate that just doesn t make sense for Ellis County. Kennedy noted that the KDHE last week added the state of Colorado to the list, which it has in place as part of its efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19. ....
ASIC has conceded that it has discretion on the ballooning adviser levy, not long after outgoing chair James Shipton implied that the corporate regulator’s hands were tied due to the “mechanical” industry funding model. In a recent response to a question from Liberal MP Andrew Wallace, which was taken on notice at the PJC enquiry in late March, ASIC explained how it consulted on industry funding arrangements through its Cost Recovery Implementation Statement (CRIS) with Treasury and the Finance Minister, but took control thereafter. “ASIC, as an independent regulator, has discretion over the allocation of resources,” the regulator stated. “ASIC has the discretion to waive levies in exceptional circumstances.

At Thursday’s regular work session of the city commission, a group of residents asked the commissioners to approve an ordinance allowing them on the streets of Hays. The vehicles, some of which can go upwards of 65 miles an hour, already are legal on the highways of Kansas, as well as in the towns of Ellis, Victoria, Ness City, Garden City, Dodge City and other cities in western Kansas. ....
Advice industry participants have unified in opposition to a significant increase in the annual adviser levy, and questioned the efficacy of an industry funding model that penalises compliant advisers for breaches committed by those that have left the industry. The latest adviser levy for FY19/20 came in at $1500 per licensee plus $2,426 per adviser, with the adviser portion increasing from $1,142 in FY18/19 and $934 in FY17/18. That’s an increase of 160 per cent in two years for an adviser cohort already struggling with the cost to serve. This increase is also being concentrated across advisers providing retail advice; wholesale advisers have a separate levy, which this year sits at $29 per adviser. ....
