HB 2624 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Authorizing the disorganization of a county fire district by the board of county commissioners when such district contains no territory.

This Kansas bill allows county commissioners to formally dissolve fire districts that no longer cover any land. It specifically permits boards to disorganize such districts upon motion, without requiring petitions from residents. The change directly affects counties with fire districts that have been reduced to zero territory through land exclusions. The bill amends existing law to clarify the disorganization process for these non-functional districts.
