The bill establishes a water program task force in Kansas, consisting of 13 voting members and 3 nonvoting ex officio members, tasked with evaluating the state's water program and its funding. The voting members include legislative leaders and representatives from various stakeholder groups related to water use and management, ensuring representation from each of the state's five conservation regions. The task force is required to submit a preliminary report by January 31, 2026, and a final report by January 31, 2027, detailing recommendations for the long-term structure and funding of the state's water program.

Additionally, the task force will create a water planning work group, appointed by the co-chairs of the task force, to study the state water resource planning act and propose modernization legislation. This work group will focus on various aspects of the state water plan, including its creation, prioritization, and implementation. The bill also stipulates that the task force's provisions will expire on July 1, 2027, and it will take effect upon publication in the Kansas register.
