Bill > HCR5031

This concurrent resolution ratifies and extends a state of disaster emergency declaration originally issued on February 9, 2026, by Governor Laura Kelly for Douglas, Johnson, and Wyandotte counties in Kansas. This declaration was made in response to the significant public safety, security, transportation, and infrastructure challenges anticipated due to the 2026 FIFA World Cup activities. The resolution confirms that the emergency status will remain in effect through July 30, 2026, acknowledging that these counties are expected to host teams, training sites, and practice facilities, leading to increased population density, traffic, and public gatherings, which will place extraordinary demands on local resources.
