Requiring at least one member of the Kansas state fair board to be a resident of Reno county.
HB 2283 requires that at least one member of the Kansas State Fair Board appointed from the general public must be a resident of Reno County. This change modifies the existing law (K.S.A. 74-520a) by adding a specific residency requirement for one of the seven public appointees, who will represent the state at large. The bill does not alter the total number of board members or other appointment procedures, only ensuring Reno County has dedicated representation on the board. This provision directly affects the governor's appointment process for the board's public members.
