Requiring an annual reimbursement to the Kansas department of wildlife and parks for lost revenue from free or discounted hunting and fishing licenses, permits or passes that were established by legislative enactment on or after July 1, 2027.
Maddy summaryHB 2543 requires Kansas to annually reimburse the Department of Wildlife and Parks for revenue lost when new free or discounted hunting/fishing licenses, permits, or passes are created by law on or after July 1, 2027. The department must track these lost revenues, certify the amount by June 30 each year, and the state must transfer funds from the general budget to the wildlife fee fund. This applies only to licenses established by new legislation after 2027, not existing discounts. The accounting is subject to audit by the state treasurer.

Providing an exception for Kansas department of wildlife and parks records regarding the location of any species that is threatened, endangered or in need of conservation from the disclosure requirements of the Kansas open records act.
Maddy summaryHB 2505 amends Kansas' open records law to exempt location data for threatened, endangered, or conservation-needed species from public disclosure. The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks would no longer be required to release such location information upon public request. This exemption would be added to the existing protections under K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 45-221, specifically covering records related to species conservation. The bill directly affects public access to sensitive wildlife location data while aiming to protect conservation efforts.
