The bill authorizes the state historical society of Kansas to convey approximately 11.97 acres of real estate located in Johnson County to the Shawnee Tribe. This conveyance will be executed via a quitclaim deed by the executive director of the state historical society without the need for appraisal, bid, or publication, and it will not be subject to the provisions of K.S.A. 75-3043a. The deed will include restrictive covenants that prohibit any gaming or gambling activities on the property. Additionally, the Shawnee Tribe is responsible for all costs associated with the conveyance and must grant the state a historic preservation easement in accordance with federal preservation laws.
Furthermore, the Shawnee Tribe is required to engage in formal consultations with four federally recognized tribes regarding the rehabilitation of the land and structures. They must also provide updates on their rehabilitation efforts and consultation activities to the joint committee on state-tribal relations every two years for a decade. The bill emphasizes the importance of preserving the historical significance of the property while ensuring that it is not used for gaming purposes.
