Support The KACo Legislative Committee believes this legislation would be beneficial to counties or county officials and will work to help it win passage. Under Review 1) The KACo Legislative Committee has not yet taken a position because members wish to obtain additional information about the bill and how it could affect county governments. 2) One or more affiliate associations of KACo are on each side of a bill and KACo does not support any affiliate association against another affiliate association.
