The bill proposes that any designation of a national heritage area or national historic trail by the United States National Park Service that extends beyond federal land in Kansas must receive approval from the Kansas legislature through a concurrent resolution. This requirement aims to ensure that state interests and property rights are considered before any federal designations are made. Additionally, the bill stipulates that state funds cannot be used to match federal money for these designations without legislative approval, and state lands, water, property, or facilities cannot be included in such designations without the same legislative consent.

Overall, the bill seeks to enhance state control over the designation process of national heritage areas and historic trails, addressing concerns about federal oversight and the potential impact on state and private property rights. By requiring legislative approval for these designations and the use of state funds, the bill aims to protect Kansas property owners from unwanted federal designations and associated financial burdens.
