Hawver News Company LLC hasn't posted on Facebook for a while: Vickie & Martin Hawver are figuring out the next chapter in Hawver News' life. As many of you know, we sold Hawver's Capitol Report--the news service that reports on Kansas government & politics--to State Affairs Inc. on Dec. 15, 2022 (note that we didn't sell Hawver News Company, which in recent years has focused on Hawver's Capitol Report but earlier also had other publications and projects). During 2023, we both worked for State Affairs to help with the transition. We completed that work and are taking some time to relax while planning Hawver News Company's next adventure (which won't be about politics but will have roots in earlier endeavors). Stay tuned!

Interested in a free weekly newsletter about Kansas government & politics & other news? State Affairs Kansas, which now owns Hawver's Capitol Report, sends this newsletter out every Tuesday & it has a sign-up link. Fun section at the end is "What we're reading & watching" from State Affairs staffers. Martin Hawver & I sometimes share our current reading & viewing. Goal of course is for folks to eventually sign up for paid State Affairs Kansas subscriptions, but no obligation... and it's free.

Several dozen laws became law today, but one of the biggest ones — the Women’s Bill of Rights — has the most uncertainty surrounding it. The Kansas Legislature passed a total of 98 bills that became law during the 2023 session. Of those bills, 77 have provisions that become effective today, ac...
