Bill > HB2767

This bill establishes the Kansas Military Affairs Commission, which will officially be the successor to the Governor's Military Council and will be an advisory body within the Governor's office. The commission's voting membership will increase from 13 to 16 members, including the Governor as chair, the Adjutant General, legislative leaders or their designees, the Secretary of Commerce, the executive director of the Kansas Office of Veterans' Services, representatives from specific counties with active military installations, an active duty military spouse, and individuals with military experience. Appointed members will serve at the pleasure of the governor, and the commission will also have 11 non-voting ex officio members representing military installations, state educational institutions, and the Kansas Fusion Center. The commission is tasked with advising the governor and legislature on military-affiliated issues, recommending strategies to grow the military presence in Kansas, supporting necessary infrastructure, improving employment and quality of life for military families, fostering community relations with military installations, advocating for Kansas in Department of Defense matters, building support for the armed services, and protecting existing and pursuing new military missions and defense-related industries in the state.
