Plain-English Summary

This bill would allow Sedgwick County, Kansas to change how it uses Northeast Sedgwick County Park, even though the county received federal funding through the Land and Water Conservation Fund that normally requires parks to remain available for public recreation. The change would free the county from restrictions that currently prevent converting the park to other uses, giving local officials more flexibility in deciding the park's future.
