No full text"February 13, 2024."
Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, Senate Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources, presented by Brad Loveless, Secretary, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks.
This same testimony, with minor differences, was presented before the Kansas Legislature, House Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources, by Brad Loveless, Secretary, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, on March 12, 2024.Neutral testimony concerning SB 417. "SB 417 would repeal the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Park's authority to Use Eminent Domain to acquire property. The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) stands neutral on this bill. However, it is an important issue that has been valuable in certain narrow instances over time. ... Eminent Domain is a seldom used but potentially important tool for maintaining wildlife areas and parks. ... Existing law does not grant KDWP unfettered right to eminent domain but imposes multi-faceted criteria on the agency in order to justify its narrowly tailored use. ... Under existing law, K.S.A. 32-840 only allows eminent domain when it is necessary to "Carry out the provisions of the wildlife and parks laws of the state" which the legislature has previously enacted, or "to protect, add to and improve" existing conservation or recreational lands or facilities. ... Should KDWP desire to use eminent domain, the Attorney General's Office, not KDWP staff, would be the actual public entity responsible for initiating a condemnation proceeding. ... Proceeding could only begin when and if the Attorney General is satisfied the criterion set forth in K.S.A. 32-840 has been met. Additionally, the Governor's administrative supervision of KDWP and the Legislature's budgetary oversight provide further safeguards. ... Although few historical examples of eminent domain by KDWP exist that does not mean it is an unnecessary tool for a conservation agency to possess. ... The first step taken to acquire additional property rights is for KDWP staff to ask a landowner to freely transfer the needed property interests to the state. The second step would be to purchase such property rights from the landowner. ... These methods have been very successful. ... However, some landowner in the future may be unwilling to assist when help is desperately needed for the public good. ... Much interest surrounds the federal government's 30 X 30 initiative. KDWP has never been involved with that initiative, nor does not have plans to do so. KDWP focuses on respecting and prioritizing individual property rights.
Other titles: Senate Bill 347 Act Requiring Senate Confirmation of Appointees to the Kanas Wildlife and Parks Commission
No full text"January 24, 2024."
Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, Senate Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources, presented by Brad Loveless, Secretary, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks.Neutral testimony concerning SB 347. "SB 347 would require Senate confirmation of appointees to the Kansas Wildlife and Parks Commission. ... Its main purpose is to solicit public input during the regulatory promulgation process. Based upon public feedback, proposed regulations may be amended, accepted, or rejected. However, the administrative functions of KDWP are not overseen by the Commission. Nor does the KDWP Secretary, being a cabinet level position, answer to the Commission. The Commission is therefore different than other boards or commissions that currently require Kansas Senate Confirmation. ... Further, these Senate-confirmed boards oversee agency budgets and/or personnel, such as an executive assistant who reports directly to it. Whereas KDWP is overseen by a secretary, which is already confirmed by the Senate and answers to the Governor."

Support, Opportunity, Unity, and Legal Relationship (SOUL) is an innovative new legal permanency option for older youth in foster care. Kansas is honored and excited to be the first-ever state to help advance this proposed permanency option that would allow older youth to establish supportive circle of caring adults without severing legal ties with birth parents and siblings. ... Kansas has good reason to consider this promising, new SOUL option. As of December 31, 2023, there were 517 Kansas youth and young adults aged 16-18 years preparing to age out of foster care and the existing permanency options of adoption, guardianship and reunification had been ruled out for a variety of reasons.
