The Honorable Mike Thompson, Chairperson
Senate Committee on Federal and State Affairs
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 144-S
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Senator Thompson:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 83 by Senate Committee on Federal and State Affairs
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 83 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
SB 83 would require a city that has extraterritorial zoning regulations or subdivision
regulations to consider territory outside the corporate limits of the city part of the city for purposes
of all city elections. Qualified electors living within the territory outside the corporate limits of
the city would be considered qualified electors of the city. The voting area for any member of the
city governing body would include the territory subject to extraterritorial zoning regulations or
subdivision regulations. If the governing body members are elected by district, at least one district
would include the territory outside the corporate limits of the city.
The Secretary of State indicates it would use existing resources to provide training and
update manuals for county election officials; update the agency’s website; and update public
documents and information. Any fiscal effect associated with SB 83 is not reflected in The FY
2026 Governor’s Budget Report.
The Kansas Association of Counties and the League of Kansas Municipalities indicate SB
83 could increase expenditures related to having more eligible voters for regularly scheduled city
elections or special elections. However, the Association and the League are unable to estimate a
fiscal effect.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
