Amy Blunt , the governor’s sister, no longer has to worry about losing her job at Lathrop & Gage in Kansas City.

On Thursday, the Senate softened a conflict-of-interest provision that had been aimed at making her law firm choose between employing her and working for Montreal-based Bombardier Aerospace.

The law firm has been hired by Bombardier, which is eyeing a Kansas City site for a jet assembly plant. The state is fashioning a major tax credit package to offer the company.

An earlier amendment approved by the Senate would have barred relatives of state officials from working for companies under contract with Bombardier.

But senators revamped the wording Thursday to simply bar certain officials from working directly for Bombardier until 2022. Relatives are no longer affected.

Lathrop & Gage assured the bill’s sponsor, Sen. Charlie Shields, that Amy Blunt won’t benefit from the Bombardier work.

In a letter to Shields, attorney John C. “Jack” Craft said the contract “will not have any effect on Amy Blunt’s compensation.”

Shields said the original amendment would have affected 30,000 people — elected and appointed officials and their distant relatives with indirect connections to the project.

One of them was Sen. Jack Goodman, who was ready to go to work for Lathrop & Gage when the conflict-of-interest amendment surfaced. The new wording should clear the way for him to take the job. Goodman abstained on every vote regarding the bill.
