The bill amends K.S.A. 2-128 to update the governance structure of fair associations and county fair boards in Kansas. It specifies that stockholders or members of fair associations must meet annually to elect a board of directors, with terms structured so that one-third of the directors' terms expire each year. The bill also modifies the notification process for the annual election, requiring a personal notification or publication in a local newspaper at least 10 days prior to the meeting. Additionally, it changes the composition of the county fair boards for Cloud County from 12 to 36 members and for Butler County from 15 to 9 members, while maintaining the eligibility criteria for board membership.

Furthermore, the bill repeals K.S.A. 2-128 and 19-2699, which may indicate a consolidation or simplification of existing laws regarding fair associations and county fair boards. The term of office for board members is set at three years, with provisions for filling vacancies and electing officers from among the board members. The act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
