Requiring legislative approval of any national heritage area or national historic trail in the state of Kansas and prohibiting state funding of any national heritage area or national historic trail unless such funding is first approved by the legislature of the state of Kansas.
HB 2051 requires Kansas legislative approval before any federal designation of a national heritage area or national historic trail can affect Kansas land or property. It prohibits state funding for such designations unless specifically approved by the Kansas legislature through a concurrent resolution. The bill specifically blocks state agencies from using state funds to match federal money for these areas without legislative consent and prevents state-owned land, water, or facilities from being included in federal designations without approval. This directly affects state property management and funding decisions related to federally designated heritage areas or trails within Kansas.
