Governor Laura Kelly Signs Executive Orders to Maintain COVID-19
Response
TOPEKA –
Governor Laura Kelly today issued several executive orders to ensure Kansas can
maintain critical pandemic response efforts to keep Kansans healthy, keep
businesses open, and keep kids in school.
The orders
Governor Kelly issued today extend provisions put in place by previous
executive orders and include some updated provisions.
“Since the
pandemic began, my administration has been laser-focused on supporting and
protecting our communities and our economy,” Governor Kelly said. “Extending
these orders will ensure that our efforts will not have been wasted, and that
Kansans and businesses don’t lose the resources they need to get back to
normal.”
Several
executive orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic were set to expire on March
31 in conjunction with the expiration of the state of disaster emergency.
Senate Bill 40 includes a provision that revoked all executive orders related
to the COVID-19 pandemic yesterday, but the Governor retains the authority to
re-issue orders under the new process imposed by the bill.
