AI Summary

This bill establishes the Kansas Military Affairs Commission, which will serve as an advisory body to the governor and is essentially a continuation of the existing Governor's Military Council. The commission will be comprised of 13 voting 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 municipalities with military installations, an active-duty military spouse, and individuals with military expertise. Additionally, there will be 11 non-voting ex officio members from various military installations, state educational institutions, and the Kansas fusion center. The commission is tasked with providing recommendations on military-related issues, supporting military expansion and infrastructure, improving employment and quality of life for military families, fostering community relations with military installations, advocating for Kansas in defense matters, and developing strategic plans to protect and grow military missions in the state. The governor will appoint an executive director to manage the commission's operations and administrative duties.
