2025 Stakeholder Budget Hearing

On August 11, 2025, Secretary Laura Howard led the 2025 stakeholder budget meeting hosted by KDADS from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Sunflower Foundation in Topeka. Attendees were allowed to present budget priorities and recommendations to KDADS leadership as we work to craft the agency’s budget request for the state fiscal year 2027. Presenters spoke in person, presented virtually, or submitted written-only testimony. 

All presenters – in person or virtual – were asked to submit a written copy of their comments to be added to the record and shared at the meeting. You can find the complete testimony provided by all attendees below, along with a video recording of the meeting.
