SB 80 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Eliminating the authority of the secretary of wildlife and parks to issue nonresident landowner deer permits.

SB 80 eliminates a specific hunting permit option for nonresident landowners in Kansas. It removes the secretary of wildlife and parks' authority to issue deer hunting permits to nonresidents who own 80+ acres of Kansas farm or ranch land, restricting such permits to hunting only on their own land. This change directly affects nonresident landowners who currently hold this permit type, ending their ability to hunt deer on their property under this specific program. The bill amends Kansas law to prohibit this permit category, requiring nonresident landowners to use standard nonresident deer permits instead.
