Creating the Kansas office of natural resources within the executive branch and transferring certain duties of the Kansas water office, and the department of agriculture, division of conservation and division of water resources to such office.

HB 2345 creates the Kansas Office of Natural Resources within the executive branch to consolidate water and conservation management. It transfers all duties, powers, and functions from the Kansas Water Office and the Department of Agriculture's divisions of Conservation and Water Resources to this new office, while abolishing those three existing entities. The bill establishes the new office's structure, including an executive director appointed by the governor, and updates relevant state laws to reflect the reorganization. This change directly affects state agencies responsible for water policy, conservation programs, and resource management in Kansas.
