This bill amends the Kansas Neighborhood Revitalization Act by allowing certain municipalities, specifically those with a population of less than 10,000, to designate the entire municipality as a neighborhood revitalization area. The governing body of a municipality can still designate specific areas as revitalization zones if they find that certain conditions exist, which are outlined in the existing law. Additionally, the bill removes a specific reference to a subsection in the current law regarding the conditions for designation.

The bill also includes the repeal of the existing section K.S.A. 12-17,116, which indicates a significant change in how neighborhood revitalization areas are defined and designated. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book, streamlining the process for smaller municipalities to engage in revitalization efforts.
