This bill amends K.S.A. 75-5275a concerning the prison-made goods act of Kansas, specifically allowing the secretary of corrections to establish contracts for the production of manufactured or modular homes. The bill removes the previous prohibition against the secretary maintaining a home building program that competes with manufactured home manufacturers and dealers. It clarifies that the secretary may engage in such contracts, except for those related to the vocational building program or any contracts authorized by K.S.A. 75-5275(c).

Additionally, the bill updates definitions related to manufactured and modular homes, aligning them with existing definitions in K.S.A. 58-4202. It also repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 75-5275a, effectively replacing it with the new provisions outlined in the bill. The act will take effect upon its publication in the Kansas register.
