Democratic Rep. Ford Carr has requested a formal complaint and the appointment of a special investigative committee to look into allegations of “inappropriate” conduct by Republican Rep. Nick Hoheisel on the House floor. Carr cited Hoheisel’s use of “uncalled for” and “inappropriate” remarks that he believed violated House rules. The incident occurred during a debate on a bill related to gun safety in Kansas public schools. House Republican leaders then recessed the chamber and postponed discussions on the bill.
In response, House Minority Leader Brandon Woodard called for deescalation in the Legislature and emphasized the importance of closed meetings among Democrats as a “sacred moment.” Rep. Jo Ella Hoye introduced a bill to prohibit carrying concealed firearms in the Capitol to enhance safety and decorum in the legislature. The article also mentions the precedent of forming special bipartisan committees to handle rules violations within the Kansas Legislature.
