Governors don't write bills — Kansas's legislature sends them bills, and they sign or veto. Each one below is a bill Kansas's own record shows Laura Kelly acted on. Bills still waiting for a decision, and resolutions, aren't included. The record shows a decision on 60% of the 493 bills that passed both chambers; the rest are waiting on the governor or aren't labeled in the state's record.
