This bill establishes an official seal for the House of Representatives in Kansas, detailing its design and purpose. The seal features various symbols representing the state, including a rising sun, a river with a steamboat, agricultural imagery, and a herd of buffalo, along with the motto "Ad astra per aspera" and the phrase "Kansas House of Representatives." The seal will be kept in the office of the Speaker of the House and used for attesting official documents and other approved purposes.
Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions regarding the use of the seal. Members of the House of Representatives are permitted to use the seal on official stationery, newsletters, or other communications, but such use must not imply an official position of the House. Furthermore, the seal is explicitly prohibited from being used for campaign purposes. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
