The bill amends K.S.A. 12-17,116 to allow the governing body of any municipality to designate areas as neighborhood revitalization areas based on specific conditions that impact public health, safety, or welfare. It removes references to certain subsections of K.S.A. 12-17,115, streamlining the criteria for declaring a building outside of a revitalization area as dilapidated. Additionally, the bill clarifies that municipalities with populations under 10,000 can designate the entire municipality as a neighborhood revitalization area.

Furthermore, the bill repeals K.S.A. 12-17,116 entirely, indicating a significant change in the legal framework governing neighborhood revitalization efforts. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book, signaling an immediate implementation of these changes once enacted.
