Bill > HCR5012

This concurrent resolution urges Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach to protect federal employees in Kansas, acknowledging that over 27,200 federal employees and their families reside in the state, primarily working for agencies like Veterans Affairs, the Army, and the Department of Agriculture. The resolution highlights that these employees are critical partners in achieving state and national goals across sectors such as education, healthcare, homeland security, and transportation. It references concerns about job cuts under President Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which have allegedly caused significant disruption in the federal workforce. Recognizing the Attorney General's role as the state's chief legal officer responsible for upholding state and federal laws, the resolution specifically calls on Kobach to safeguard federal employees by ensuring the legal integrity of governmental operations. As a formal step, the resolution directs the Secretary of State to send an enrolled copy of the resolution to Attorney General Kobach and Representative L. Ruiz.
