HB 2120 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Authorizing the state board of regents to sell and convey certain real property in Riley county, Kansas, and Douglas county, Nebraska, on behalf of Kansas state university and Kansas state university veterinary medical center.

HB 2120 authorizes Kansas State University and its veterinary medical center to sell specific properties they own in Omaha, Nebraska, and Manhattan, Kansas. The bill permits the state board of regents to sell the Nebraska property at 9706 Mockingbird Drive and the Kansas "Unger complex" (6.54 acres in Manhattan) on behalf of these institutions. Proceeds from both sales must be deposited into designated university restricted funds. The law requires attorney general review of all sales documents before closing, but exempts these transactions from standard state property sale laws.
