The bill establishes a Water Program Task Force in Kansas, tasked with evaluating the state's water program and its funding. The task force will consist of 29 voting members, including legislative leaders and representatives from various agricultural, environmental, and municipal organizations, as well as 10 nonvoting ex officio members from relevant state departments. The task force is required to assess risks to the state's water supply, propose steps for sustainable water management, and evaluate current funding adequacy for water infrastructure needs.

The task force is mandated to submit a report to the legislature and the governor by January 31, 2026, detailing recommendations for the long-term structure of the water program and potential funding sources. This includes evaluating the roles of different entities in water management and identifying new funding mechanisms. The provisions of this act will expire on July 1, 2027, and it will take effect upon publication in the Kansas register.
