“Every day this week in the House Education Committee, the majority of the committee has ignored the desires of Kansans across the state, and implemented bills supporting the ideologies of the far right. To understand how the committee process is supposed to work (hat tip to my high school government teacher), committees are supposed to be where testimony on bills is heard, with proponents and opponents given an opportunity to speak, so that when the committee members vote, they can make an informed decision. After hearing testimony, the committee can work the bill – that is, they can add amendments to correct deficiencies or to strike a common ground. In order to give informed or concerned parties enough time to prepare for a hearing on a bill, the committee chair will post an agenda for each meeting, and establish rules on how and when to submit testimony, so that they may be given an opportunity to be heard.”
