Happy Fourth of July!

Today we celebrate 250 years of American independence and the homegrown innovation that helps power our nation's future. Wishing you a safe and happy Independence Day.

The 2026 Kansas legislative session has officially concluded following Veto Session on April 9–10.

Around 1:00 a.m., we were able to successfully advocate for passage of an income tax credit incentive for fuel retailers to offer E15 and higher ethanol blend fuels. A multi-year-effort to craft and shepherd the bill through the legislature, the tax credit is valued at 5 cents for each gallon sold and is capped at $2.5 million for three years. Before being sent to Governor Laura Kelly for consideration, the Senate passed the bill, 36-2, and the House, 76-45.
