The Honorable Susan Humphries, Chairperson
House Committee on Judiciary
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 582-N
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Humphries:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2242 by House Committee on Judiciary
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2242 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2242 would authorize the Governor to grant requests from the United States federal
government to establish concurrent jurisdiction over land in Kansas owned by the United States
for military purposes. The bill would outline the steps requiring the concurrent jurisdiction being
effective. After the concurrent jurisdiction would be effective, the Governor would be required to
send a copy of the relevant information to the Secretary of State to the official who made the initial
written offer. In addition, any state or local agency could enter into a reciprocal agreement or
memorandum of understanding with any agency of the United States for the coordination and
designation of the concurrent jurisdiction.
The Office of the Governor indicates that enactment of HB 2242 would have no fiscal
effect on the Office. A fiscal note was requested from the Office of the Attorney General and the
Office has not responded yet.
The League of Kansas Municipalities indicates the enactment of the bill would have a
negligible effect on cities. The Kansas Association of Counties indicates that the enactment of the
bill could have a fiscal effect for counties if a potential concurrent jurisdiction would affect county
operations or would remove the ability to levy property tax on any affected land. However, a fiscal
effect cannot be estimated.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
