A Kansas Senate committee has rejected proposals aimed at annulling any federal mandates on health insurance coverage.
The Judiciary Committee rejected a proposed "Health Care Freedom" statute on a 5-5 vote Friday.
The action came a day after a 4-4 vote doomed the measure as a proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution.
Supporters' goal is a policy barring the state from requiring individuals or businesses to buy health insurance or to participate in a particular health care plan. Proponents believe such a policy will give Kansas grounds to challenge any federal mandate.
A version of the measure has also been filed in the House.
