Caption

Providing for the assignment of seats in the House of Representatives for the 2026 legislative session.

Summary

House Resolution 6037 is a procedural resolution governing chamber seating in the Kansas House of Representatives for the 2026 regular legislative session. It directs that members occupy the same seats assigned under House Resolution 6021, with one specific exception: Representative Mike Storm is assigned seat 97. The resolution does not change substantive law, create new programs, or affect public rights or obligations. Its effect is limited to internal House organization and the administrative arrangement of member seating for the session. It is a housekeeping measure used to formalize chamber logistics at the start of the legislative year.

Impact

HR 6037 affects only the internal operations of the Kansas House of Representatives by confirming seat assignments for members during the 2026 session. It does not amend the Kansas statutes, alter agency authority, or impose duties on the public; its legal impact is confined to legislative procedure and chamber administration.

Sentiment

The available record suggests the resolution was noncontroversial and routine. There are no committee transcripts, recorded votes, or objections in the provided materials, and the resolution was adopted by the House. The sponsorship by members from different political affiliations also suggests a broadly procedural, consensus-driven measure rather than a partisan policy bill.

Contention

No notable policy contention appears in the provided materials. The only specific point in the resolution is the exception for Representative Mike Storm’s seat assignment, but there is no indication of dispute or debate over that change. Because the measure concerns seating arrangements rather than legislation on substantive issues, it appears to have been treated as an administrative matter.
