Kansas lawmakers will look at a special state tax on adult entertainment businesses today to study before the next legislative session.

Phillip Cosby has led a campaign against stores selling sexual items and made the suggestion to lawmakers.

The Abilene man says if the state can impose taxes on tobacco and alcohol, why not on pornography?

With Kansas legislators pressed to find more money for public schools, the idea intrigues some of them.

House speaker Doug Mays and other legislative leaders are scheduled to meet today to determine what issues lawmakers will study this summer and fall and Cosby's idea is on their agenda.
