          The Honorable Stephen Owens, Chairperson
          House Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice
          300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 546-S
          Topeka, Kansas 66612
          Dear Representative Owens:
                    SUBJECT:      Fiscal Note for HB 2187 by House Committee on Federal and State Affairs
                  In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2187 is
          respectfully submitted to your committee.
                  Under current law, the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training
          consists of 12 members. HB 2187 would increase the number of members to 16. The bill would
          increase the number of members selected by the Governor that represent the general public and
          are not associated with law enforcement from one to five. The five members would be selected to
          promote and ensure diverse and ethnic representation. The bill details the specific requirements
          the five members would possess and the guidance the Governor would follow when selecting the
          members.
                 The Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training states that it would be
          required to pay per diem compensation and per diem subsistence expenses for the four additional
          members from its Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training Fund. The
          compensation would be $35 per day per member; however, the Commission cannot estimate
          mileage reimbursement since it does not know where the members would reside. The Commission
          does estimate the additional per diem compensation and subsistence expenses would total between
          $640 and $1,000 per year starting in FY 2024. The Office of the Governor states that the bill
          would not have a fiscal effect. Any fiscal effect associated with HB 2187 is not reflected in The
          FY 2024 Governor’s Budget Report.

                                                              Sincerely,

                                                              Adam Proffitt
                                                              Director of the Budget
          cc: Josh McGinn, Office of the Governor
