SB 679 - Current law requires certain vacancies on the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA) to be filled by the mayor of Kansas City with approval by the members of the city council. This act requires such appointment to be made from the panel of three candidates submitted by the county commission of the county with a vacancy.

This provision is identical to a provision in SS#2/SCS/HB 199 (2025) and is substantially similar to HB 858 (2025) and to a provision in SCS/HCS/HB 572 (2025).
