Kansas: Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab's office proposed that candidates, lobbyists and political committees file campaign finance and lobbying reports directly with the Kansas Public Disclosure Commission to eliminate redundant processing and improve efficiency.

Wildfire Inverse Condemnation Liability Limited By California Legislature

California's Senate Bill 1153 has been signed into law, providing significant protection for public water systems against wildfire-related inverse condemnation claims. The legislation clarifies that water suppliers have no duty to design or maintain systems for wildfire suppression and that inability to maintain water supply during wildfires is not a substantial cause of wildfire damages.

A Tenth Circuit decision examines whether a church's alleged failure to prevent multiple instances of sexual abuse by one perpetrator constitutes a single insurance "occurrence" or multiple occurrences, with significant implications for coverage limits and settlement aggregation.
