This bill authorizes the state historical society to convey approximately 11.97 acres of real property located in Johnson County, Kansas, to the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. The conveyance will be executed via a quitclaim deed without the need for appraisal, bid, or publication, and will not be subject to certain existing provisions of Kansas law. The bill stipulates that the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation must pay all costs associated with the conveyance and grant the state a historic preservation easement in accordance with federal preservation laws. Additionally, the property will be subject to restrictive covenants that prohibit any gaming or gambling activities.
Furthermore, the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation is required to engage in formal consultations with other federally recognized tribes regarding the rehabilitation of the property and must provide updates on their progress and consultation efforts to the joint committee on state-tribal relations every two years for a decade. The bill mandates that the conveyance of the property be completed by July 1, 2028, and includes provisions for the state historical society to correct any inaccuracies in the legal description of the property, pending approval from the attorney general.
