Today the Kansas Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the Legislative Coordinating Council (LCC) was not authorized to revoke Executive Order 20-18. https://governor.kansas.gov/governors-statement-on-unanimous-kansas-supreme-court-ruling/ (1/4)

The order, which prohibits mass gatherings of more than 10 people – including church services and funerals - remains in effect. (2/4)

I want to thank the Supreme Court for its expedited review under difficult circumstances. Our response to this unprecedented pandemic has necessitated that even our most fundamental institutions find alternative methods that preserve public health. (3/4)

Today’s ruling does not change my commitment to maintaining open lines of communication and collaboration with the Legislature. The only way to get through this is by working with—not against—each other in a bipartisan fashion. (4/4)
