Kansas House members don't have much guidance from its rules or its past about handling a misconduct complaint from Democrats against its Republican speaker.
The complaint against Speaker Mike O'Neal stems from him representing businesses, trade groups and insurance funds in a lawsuit against the state.
Six House Democrats who submitted the complaint contend O'Neal, a Hutchinson Republican and a lawyer, has conflicts of interest as a legislative leader because of the lawsuit. His 17 clients in the lawsuit include the Kansas Bankers Association and a Wichita company doing business as Speedy Cash.
House rules don't spell out what constitutes misconduct worthy of a reprimand, censure or expulsion. The House last appointed a committee to review a member's conduct in 1951.
