Calendar Information


How can I get a copy of the calendar prior to the day's session?

You may get an electronic copy of the most current calendar by visiting the calendar section of this site. You can also find prior calendars from the current and past legislative sessions as well. You can also ask for a paper copy of the calendar by visiting the document room located in the Kansas Statehouse. http://www.kslegislature.org/legsrv-calendars/index.do


Why is the calendar offered only in pdf?

PDF format was selected due to the importance of preserving the format and the data contained within the calendar. Adobe PDF is a universal file format that preserves all of the fonts, formatting, colors, and graphics of any source document, regardless of the application and platform used to create it. PDF files are compact and can be shared, viewed, navigated, and printed exactly as intended by anyone with a free Adobe Acrobat® Reader™. http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

Do you keep an archive of previous calendars?

Yes. An electronic copy of past calendars is available in the calendar section. The past calendars date back to the 1998 legislative session.


Who prints the calendars?

The Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate create the calendars for their respective chambers. Each chamber then posts the electronic copy to the Web site. The state printers office prints out the calendar for distribution of the paper copy through the document room.


When do the calendars come out?

Calendars are made available the first business day prior to the calendar's effective date. For example, a calendar for March 5th would be available the evening of the 4th assuming the 4th doesn't fall on a weekend or holiday. Calendars are available approximately one hour after that days' session is adjourned.

The Chief Clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate create the House and Senate calendars respectively. Questions concerning information within the calendar should be directed to their offices. Please contact our Help Center if you are having technical problems with the calendars.
