TOPEKA, Kan. — Republican lawmakers have passed a measure to overturn three communities’ policies that could help immigrants stay in Kansas illegally.

The federal government informed the state last week that it will charge Kansas nearly $349,000 for the year to have federal teams survey nursing homes for compliance. The law enacted in November makes it easy for workers to claim a religious exemption from vaccine mandates. Meanwhile, Republican legislators want to…
