TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas legislators have finished their business for the year and ended their shortest annual session in 40 years. The House adjourned at 2:06 this morning (SAT). The Senate followed at 2:13 a.m. The only remaining scheduled business is a brief, formal adjournment ceremony May 30. Lawmakers left the Statehouse after giving final approval to budget legislation. It was the 79th day of their session. It was the shortest annual session since 1974, when lawmakers met for only 64 days. At the time, the state constitution specified 60-day sessions in even-numbered years.
