Authorizing the state historical society to convey certain real property located in Johnson county to the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation.

SB 518 is a proposed bill that would authorize the Kansas State Historical Society to transfer ownership of 11.97 acres of land in Johnson County to the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. The land, described in the bill, would be conveyed via a simple transfer without appraisal or public bidding, subject to conditions prohibiting gambling and requiring a historic preservation easement. The tribe must also provide biennial reports to the state’s tribal relations committee for 10 years on land rehabilitation and consultations with other tribes. This transfer must be completed by July 1, 2028, and directly affects the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation (as recipient) and the state (as grantor).
