Bill Summary

AN ACT concerning economic development; relating to the Kansas neighborhood revitalization act; providing that certain municipalities may designate the entire municipality within a neighborhood revitalization area; amending K.S.A. 12-17,116 and repealing the existing section.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Kansas Neighborhood Revitalization Act to allow any municipality in Kansas with a population of less than 10,000 people to designate its entire area as a neighborhood revitalization area, which is a designated zone intended for rehabilitation, conservation, or redevelopment to improve public health, safety, and welfare. Previously, municipalities had to designate specific areas within their boundaries as neighborhood revitalization areas, often based on certain conditions like dilapidated structures, but this change provides greater flexibility for smaller communities to utilize the act's provisions across their whole jurisdiction.
