Topeka, KS – According to the statement, the decisions take effect at 11:59 on June 15th for all except orders 21-16 and 21-20, which will be effective until June 30th, and 21-10, which will stay in force for another month.
Governor Kelly will leave Executive Orders 21-15 and 21-21 in place in a move she says will support the state’s role in COVID-19 testing and vaccine administration, critical to increasing the rates of vaccinations for school-aged children.
Executive Order 21-15 is the only one in place to require COVID-19 testing in certain adult care homes licensed by the state. Executive Order 21-21 keeps temporary authority for certain medical personnel to administer COVID-19 vaccinations. Gov. Kelly says continuing the efforts to vaccinate as many Kansans as quickly as possible would be impeded if that one expires.
Two of her previous orders, 21-16 dealing with driver’s license renewals and 21-20 regarding deadlines for rural water district yearly meetings, are being retained until June 30th.
