In a sharply worded opinion, the Kansas Supreme Court last week stayed a Johnson County judge’s ruling that a pandemic emergency powers law is unconstitutional. Why it matters: The ruling temporarily puts a hold on Judge David Hauber’s ruling that the law, known as SB 40, violated the separation of powers and the due process rights of the Shawnee Mission School District. But SMSD officials say the stay will have no immediate impact on the district’s COVID-19 mitigation measures currently in place, including a universal mask rule in all schools.
