Bill > HB2398

This bill provides $600,000 in state general fund appropriations to the Kansas State Historical Society specifically for the Quindaro ruins archaeological park project in Wyandotte County. The funding is designated to be used in a structured manner: at least $250,000 will be allocated to develop a scope statement, plan the project's work, and issue a request for proposals for a master plan for the archaeological park. The remaining funds will be used to implement the first phase of renovations based on the master plan. The bill also includes a legislative intent to provide additional funding in future fiscal years depending on the outcomes of the initial master plan. The Quindaro ruins site appears to be a historically significant archaeological location that the state is seeking to preserve, study, and potentially develop for educational or cultural purposes. The appropriation is specifically for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, and the act will take effect upon publication in the state statute book.
