This bill establishes the Office of the Executive Director for Kansas Advisory Commissions within the legislative branch, creating a new Advisory Commission on Asian American and Pacific Islander Affairs and transferring the Hispanic and Latino American Affairs Commission and the Advisory Commission on African-American Affairs from the executive branch to the legislative branch. The executive director, appointed by the legislative coordinating council, will oversee these commissions by gathering information, disseminating findings, forwarding proposals, conducting public education, and organizing hearings. Each commission will also have an unpaid commission director and shared administrative staff, with members appointed by legislative leadership and the governor, and will be advisory to the legislature, tasked with drafting legislation related to their respective communities.
