2026 Legislative UpdatesKAFP is directly engaged in Topeka each week of the legislative session. Our partner at Markley Strategies, along with volunteer leaders and staff, are onsite to give testimony, meet with legislators, attend important hearings and serve as Family Doctor of the Day. We invest resources in an effort to advocate for the profession of family medicine, our patients and communities across Kansas. Markley Strategies updates the membership each week during session, highlighting important points, calls to action, and the status of bills we’re watching, so our members can stay well-informed on KAFP’s advocacy efforts.By Government Relations Liaison, Patty Markley of Markley Strategies LLC2026 Legislative Summaries Conference Committees Begin as Health Policy Bills ProgressMarch 16, 2026Kansas Legislature Enters Final Stretch as Budget and Health Bills AdvanceMarch 10, 2026Halfway Through the Session: Key Health Care Wins, Losses, and Budget DevelopmentsFeb. 23, 2026Committees Consider Scope of Practice, Prior Authorization, and other Key BillsFeb. 9, 2026Momentum Builds as Committees Take Up Health BillsJan. 26, 2026Early Public Health Policy Signals EmergeJan. 20, 2026Compressed 2026 Session Brings Early Action at the StatehouseJan. 12, 2026Wondering who your elected officials are?
