The proposed bill, known as the "Back to Work Act," mandates that all full-time employees of state agencies in Kansas perform their duties at their assigned office, facility, or field location by July 1, 2025. However, agency heads are granted the authority to make exceptions to this requirement for employees with nonstandard work hours, those in positions where in-office work is deemed unreasonable, or in cases where office space constraints would necessitate additional expenditures.

Additionally, the bill requires state agencies to report the number of exceptions granted by agency heads to the Department of Administration by August 1, 2025. This report must include details such as the list of agencies granting exceptions, the number of exceptions, job descriptions, and information on leased buildings and their costs. The Department of Administration is tasked with compiling this information and submitting a comprehensive report to the Senate Committee on Government Efficiency by October 1, 2025.
