Providing funding for the state historical society to issue a scope statement, plan the work to be accomplished and issue a request for proposals for a master plan for the Quindaro ruins archaeological park in Wyandotte county, Kansas, and implement such master plan.

SB 290 appropriates $600,000 from the state general fund for the Kansas State Historical Society to create a master plan for the Quindaro ruins archaeological park in Wyandotte County. The funds must first be used to develop a scope statement, plan the project, and issue a request for proposals for the master plan, with at least $250,000 allocated for these initial steps. Any remaining funds will be used for phase one renovations of the park. This bill directly affects the historical society and the Quindaro ruins site, focusing on planning and initial improvements without creating new laws or regulations.
