Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Kessler:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2372 by House Committee on Federal and State Affairs
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2372 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2372 would designate the existing Fallen Firefighters Memorial within the Kansas
Firefighters Museum in Wichita as the official Fallen Firefighters Memorial of the State of Kansas.
The bill would create the Kansas Fallen Firefighters Memorial Council and abolish the existing
Kansas Firefighters Memorial Advisory Committee, and would transfer its duties, records, and
property to the newly created Council.
The Council would consist of nine members, including representatives from various
firefighter organizations, and would make recommendations regarding the memorial, including its
maintenance, updating, and repair. The bill would also authorize the Council to solicit grants and
gifts for the memorial, with all funds deposited into the Kansas Fallen Firefighters Memorial Fund.
Expenditures from the fund would be used for constructing, updating, and repairing the memorial,
as well as for other purposes related to memorializing Kansas firefighters. The bill would take
effect on July 1, 2025.
The Office of the State Fire Marshal and the Department of Administration indicate that
enactment of the bill would have no fiscal effect.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
