Chief justice signs new administrative order continuing suspension of deadlines, time limitations

TOPEKA—Chief Justice Marla Luckert issued a new administrative order today continuing to suspend statutes of limitation, statutory time standards, deadlines, and time limitations started under earlier orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Luckert's action to issue Administrative Order 2020-PR-130 follows the State Finance Council's December 11, 2020, decision extending the COVID-19 state of disaster emergency from December 16 through January 10, 2021.

Luckert said the health and safety of jurors, witnesses, litigants, members of the public, law enforcement officials, court employees, and judges drove her decision to continue the suspensions.
