HB 2063: Establishing various conservation funds, allocating state moneys for conservation, requiring reports to the governor and legislature, and authorizing fund transfers and providing for the use of such funds by the Kansas department of agriculture and the Kansas department of wildlife and parks.

HB 2063 establishes four conservation funds in Kansas: the State Conservation Fund, Working Lands Conservation Fund, Wildlife Conservation Fund, and Kansas Outdoors Fund. It allocates $60 million annually from the state general fund to the State Conservation Fund, with automatic transfers to the other three funds (50% to Working Lands, 25% to Wildlife, and the remainder to Kansas Outdoors) starting July 2025. The Kansas Department of Agriculture and Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks will administer these funds to support conservation projects on working lands, wildlife habitats, and outdoor recreation, including irrigation efficiency, soil health, and native grassland restoration. The bill prohibits using these funds for land acquisition or to replace existing state funding for these agencies.
