Utilities committee recommends approval of Dwight Keane for KCC; Senate adjourns to Feb. 2, 2026

The Senate received a report from its utilities committee recommending the chamber approve and consent to an appointment to the Kansas Corporation Commission.

Speaker 2 read the committee report: “The following appointment was referred to and considered by the committee, and your committee recommends the senate approve and consent to such appointment.” Speaker 2 named the nominee as “Commissioner, Kansas Corporation Commission, Dwight Keane.” The transcript records the committee recommendation but does not record a subsequent Senate confirmation vote or roll-call on the appointment within the provided excerpt.

Later in the same session, Speaker 3 moved to adjourn, stating, “I move the senate adjourn to 02:30 on Monday, 02/02/2026.” The presiding officer called a voice vote: “All those in favor say aye. Opposed, no.” The chair then stated, “Motion carried,” and the Senate adjourned.

The transcript does not show any confirmation action by the full Senate on the appointment of Dwight Keane; it records only the committee recommendation and the adjournment by voice vote.
