SESSION OF 2001


SUPPLEMENTAL NOTE ON SENATE BILL NO. 133


As Amended by Senate Committee on
Federal and State Affairs




Brief (1)



SB 133 designates the last Friday in April of each year as Arbor Day. The bill requests the Governor issue a proclamation celebrating that day.





Background



Representatives of the Kansas Urban Forestry Council, the Kansas Arborist Association, the Kansas Nursery and Landscape Association, and the Kansas Forestry Service testified as proponents of the bill.



The Committee amended the bill requesting the Governor issue a proclamation, so as to eliminate the cost of publication in the Kansas Register.



The fiscal note from the Division of the Budget indicates passage of SB 133 would have no fiscal impact on state revenues.
