The Honorable Fred Patton, Chairperson
House Committee on Judiciary
Statehouse, Room 519-N
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Patton:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2196 by Representative Pittman, et al.
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2196 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2196 would amend family law regarding temporary parenting plans. When making a
temporary parenting plan there would be a presumption, rebuttable by a preponderance of
evidence, that it is in the best interests of the child for fit, willing and able parents to have temporary
custody and share equally in parenting time.
The Office of Judicial Administration indicates that HB 2196 has the potential to increase
the time spent by district court judicial personnel in reviewing parenting plans. However, it is not
possible to estimate the amount of time that would be spent on those plans. Any fiscal effect
associated with HB 2196 is not reflected in The FY 2020 Governor’s Budget Report.


Sincerely,

Larry L. Campbell
Director of the Budget
