Kansas’s Sunflower Summer program is returning despite concerns about cuts during the budgeting process.

The Kansas Department of Commerce announced that the program, which covers costs for eligible students and a parent or guardian to visit museums, historic sites, zoos and arts venues, will take applications for the program through the end of the month.

The future’s program was on shaky ground in February, when the House Appropriations Committee proposed cutting funding for the program by $2.5 million, leaving the program with just $1 million in funding. The final budget still cut the program by $500,000.

A budget proviso also limits how many adults can get a ticket under the program, allowing just one adult per transaction. The state is also limiting reimbursements to “venues in counties with a population of 15,000 or more that do not charge an admission fee.”

Sen. Stephen Owens, R-Hesston, said in a Facebook post that he and Sen. Kenny Titus, R-Manhattan, proposed totally restoring funding for the program.
