BREAKING: Legislative Coordinating Council resurrects Easter, revokes @GovLauraKelly& #39;s order limiting religious gatherings to 10. Vote was 5-2 along party lines. #COVID19 #ksleg
House Speaker Ron Ryckman says order goes too far against right to free exercise of religion. Governor& #39;s Chief Counsel Clay Britton said that by revoking this order, the LCC also revoked an earlier emergency order 20-14 limiting mass gatherings. So no order in effect limiting
mass gatherings is in effect at the moment in Kansas. Neither Britton nor Gov. Kelly& #39;s Chief of Staff Will Lawrence told the LCC what the governor& #39;s next move would be.
@KDHE Secretary Lee Norman said there have been three "clusters" of #COVID19 at religious gatherings. Two
Montgomery County residents, a husband and wife, died of #COVID19 after attending a religious gathering in Wyandotte County, Norman said. Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley said two of his constituents died after attending a religious event in the KC area.
