KANSAS GOVERNOR SIGNS PEO BILL

Legislation that will transfer PEO registration to the Kansas Secretary of State’s office January 1 and codify PEOs’ existing practice of sponsoring welfare benefits beginning this summer has been signed into law by Governor Laura Kelly. The legislature’s passage of HB 2790 is a win for NAPEO, as this bill ensures Kansas small businesses and residents continue to have access to PEO-sponsored Fortune 500-level benefits. For more information, please contact NAPEO Director of State Government Affairs Kristin Baldwin, kbaldwin@napeo.org.
