The bill amends the current law regarding the Kansas State Fair Board's membership requirements. It establishes that the board will consist of various appointed members, including one individual who must be a resident of Reno County. The bill removes the previous stipulation that the board was established on or after March 15, 1995, and replaces the term "people" with "persons" in the context of appointments. Additionally, it clarifies that the board will include seven members from the general public, with specific representation from the five extension areas of the state, and mandates that one of the at-large representatives must reside in Reno County.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the terms of appointment for board members, stating that initial appointments will have staggered terms of one to three years, after which all members will serve three-year terms. It also allows for the establishment of a nonprofit corporation to support the Kansas State Fair, with its board of directors comprising members of the fair board's executive committee. The existing section of K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 74-520a is repealed, and the act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
