Legislative leaders would appoint six Kansas state fair board members

Six legislative leaders would each appoint one public member to the Kansas state fair board. The House speaker would choose a statewide member. House majority and minority leaders would choose northwest and southwest members. The Senate president, majority leader, and minority leader would choose south central, southeast, and northeast members, respectively. The governor would appoint the seventh public member. That person would have to live in Reno County and represent the whole state. These appointment rules would take effect after publication in the statute book if the bill became law.

Initial terms would depend on which officials appointed the board members. The initial term provision names three governor appointees, three House leadership appointees, and three Senate leadership appointees. After the initial terms, members would serve three-year terms and remain until their replacements were appointed and qualified to serve. These term rules would take effect after publication in the statute book if the bill became law.
