The bill mandates that the Secretary of Wildlife and Parks in Kansas must prepare and present a reorganization plan for the department to both the Senate and House committees on agriculture and natural resources before any reorganization can take place. The reorganization, which includes restructuring, reclassification, or consolidation of the department or its divisions, cannot be implemented without legislative approval through a concurrent resolution. This requirement is set to expire on July 1, 2027.

Additionally, the bill amends K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 32-806 by removing the provision that allows the secretary to establish policies governing the department's business transactions. The secretary is still permitted to organize the department in an efficient manner, provided it does not conflict with existing laws. The bill also repeals a previous version of K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 32-806, and it will take effect upon publication in the Kansas register.
