TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas lawmakers burned the midnight oil overnight, but did eventually adjourn early this morning. Measures passed late in the session included a balanced budget, health and public welfare bill, a ban on local restaurant regulations, and two anti-abortion measures.

The health and welfare bill reduce prescription drug costs within the state’s Medicaid program and make changes to eligibility for public assistance.

Kansas legislators are trying to prevent cities and counties from regulating work schedules at private businesses and popular but unhealthy foods. The votes on a bill limiting local officials’ power were 32-6 in the Senate and 76-45 in the House. The bill also would block cities and counties from imposing food labeling requirements or limiting the sale of food products. The measure would prohibit cities and counties from setting regulations that affect the schedules of workers for private employers unless the restrictions are required by federal law. The measure would void existing local rules.

Lawmakers passed an increase in vehicle registration fees to provide funds for the Kansas Highway Patrol to hire additional troopers. The bill also includes another fee increase to provide additional funds for a center in Hutchinson that trains law enforcement officers. Vehicle registration fees would increase a total of $3.25. Most vehicle owners now pay $35. A $2 increase would raise $5.4 million a year for the patrol so it could hire an additional 75 troopers. Thirty-five of the state’s 105 counties have no assigned trooper. An additional $1.25 fee increase would raise $3.4 million annually for the training center.

The Legislature is out of session until June 1, and its leaders hope lawmakers have finished their business for the year. The House adjourned shortly after 1 a.m. Monday, and the Senate followed at about 3:30 a.m. Their session June 1 is supposed to be only a brief adjournment ceremony.

BALLWIN, Mo. (AP) — Donald Trump has complained about a “rigged” political system, and after Missouri’s congressional district conventions, some of his supporters agree with him.

The New York businessman narrowly defeated Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in Missouri’s presidential primary on March 15, earning 37 of the state’s 52 delegates to the Republican National Convention in July.

Missouri’s eight congressional districts hosted conventions Saturday to select three national convention delegates each. Trump won in five of the eight congressional districts, theoretically earning 15 delegates. But GOP leaders say just six of those selected are Trump supporters.

Twenty-five of the remaining 28 delegates will be selected at the state convention in three weeks. The other three are Republican National Committee members who are automatic delegates.

SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) — A 55-year-old western Nebraska man has been sentenced to six months in jail for trying to take out a loan in his brother’s name.

The Scottsbluff Star-Herald reports a judge finalized the details of Mark Cross’ sentence last week. He will get credit for 64 days of jail time he has already served, and he will be supervised for 18 months after his release.

Prosecutors say Cross went to the Team Chevrolet car dealership in February and tried to get a loan for $70,592 in his brother Joel Cross’ name.

Police became involved after Joel Cross started getting letters from a finance company about someone trying to purchase a vehicle.

Dealership officials told police they became suspicious of Mark Cross after he couldn’t provide an accurate Social Security number.

NICKERSON, Neb. (AP) — Economic development officials thought the tiny Nebraska town of Nickerson was the perfect spot for a poultry processing plant offering 1,100 jobs.

But residents were furious when they learned of the plans.

They packed a fire hall and argued the roads couldn’t handle the traffic for the proposed $300 million plant, the plant would have a horrible stench and that immigrants and out-of-towners would rush in, overwhelming schools and changing the town’s character.

The village board unanimously voted against the proposal, and weeks later the company said it would look elsewhere for a plant location.

Chris Young, executive director of the American Association of Meat Processors, says despite calls for investments in rural, agricultural communities around the U.S., more people “don’t want the inconveniences that go with them.”

MACK’S CREEK, Mo. (AP) — Investigators are trying to determine if a body found in southwest Missouri is that of a man who has been missing for several days.

The Camden County Sheriff’s office said in a news release Sunday that Gregory Webb was reported missing April 20 after his employer reported he had not been able to contact Webb for several days.

While investigating Webb’s disappearance, a man’s body was found on property Webb had been overseeing, near a home where he lived.

The sheriff says the man had been the victim of a homicide but provided no other details.

Camden County and the Major Case Squad are investigating Webb’s disappearance while the Camden County medical examiner works to identify the body found on the property.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Ameren Missouri is proposing two voluntary programs that would require customers’ to support more solar power.  ne program would ask residential customers to pay a bit more each month to finance a new solar plant.

The second effort would look for commercial customers that would allow Ameren to install solar panels on rooftops and open spaces.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports regulators still must approve both programs.

Ameren isn’t planning any incentives to participants in the programs. But the utility is pledging to spend up to $13.5 million on the effort.

The three-year pilot programs are expected to generate only up to 6 megawatts of solar power. But Ameren officials say the proposals would help the utility learn best ways to incorporate small-scale solar power production.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Department for Children and Families officials say it will begin texting parents who owe child support in an effort increase collections.

The Wichita Eagle reports that the department started a pilot project with 100,000 Kansas residents to see if texting helps remind parents to pay child support. The department will also try using texts to remind people about court dates and other appointments.

A news release about the program says that texts will be sent to remind non-custodial parents who haven’t paid child support in the last 45 days.

Department spokeswoman Theresa Freed says the programs costs the state less than $5,000, which comes from postal mail savings.

Freed says that of the pilot proves to increase collections until June 30, the department will implement across the state.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s spokeswoman says reversing an income tax break for business owners would not help Kansas maintain a pro-growth environment.

Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley also said Friday that the proposal being considered by legislators could make the state’s tax climate unstable.

The proposal emerged from negotiations between three senators and three House members on tax issues. The House planned to consider it later Friday.

The measure would end a personal income tax exemption for more than 330,000 farmers and business owners enacted in 2012. Brownback championed the exemption.

Legislators must eliminate projected shortfalls in the state’s current and next budgets totaling more than $290 million. The tax proposal would close only part of the gap, but it would help keep the budget balanced in the future.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Gov. Jay Nixon has signed a mid-year increase to Missouri’s budget that adds more than $460 million in spending to the state’s current $26 billion budget.

Nixon on Friday approved the additional spending, of which more than $150 comes from the federal government.

Most of the additional spending will go toward health care for people with low incomes, which the state is legally required to fund through Medicaid. Growing drug prices has been the biggest factor driving up costs, and caseloads also have increased.

The supplemental budget also covers an increase of more than $19 million for special education and $4 million for soil and water conservation grants.
