Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Access to federal and state emergency funds
During an extraordinary event proclamation, the governor can request funding or aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The governor can also ask the State Finance Council for money from the state emergency fund. Any state funding depends on the Council’s approval and fund rules. These funding authorities expire July 1, 2027.
Faster emergency response during big events
When the proclamation is in effect, the state and local disaster response plans turn on. Officials can deploy forces and use stockpiled supplies, equipment, and facilities for the event. The governor can use all available state and local resources as needed. The governor can shift staff or functions between agencies and require agencies to cooperate. These operational powers end July 1, 2027.
Short-term safety powers for big events
The governor can declare an extraordinary event in Kansas or in a county that borders Kansas. This applies when a very large event will bring many visitors and strain safety, transport, security, or other key services without extra help. The proclamation lasts up to 15 days. The Legislative Coordinating Council can extend it up to 90 more days, must meet to consider it, and can end it at any time. Covered events include the World Cup, Olympics, Super Bowl, national party conventions, or similar large events. This declaration does not grant broader disaster powers unless a separate disaster emergency is declared. These authorities expire July 1, 2027.
