NFIB Leadership Council Member Phil Hayes urges lawmakers to provide predictability and consistency to unemployment insurance law
TOPEKA (Feb. 11, 2026) – NFIB Kansas Leadership Council Member Phil Hayes testified before the Kansas Legislature’s Joint Committee on Commerce in support of HB 2764, the Kansas Unemployment Insurance Modernization and Conformity Act of 2026. The bill provides a comprehensive update to Kansas’s unemployment insurance law, without expanding benefits.
“From a practical standpoint, the goal is workforce stability,” Hayes said. “This bill ensures Kansas maintains a compliant, well-administered, and solvent unemployment insurance system that supports reemployment, responsibly manages the trust fund over the long term, and provides employers with federally compliant tools during temporary workforce disruptions.”
