         respectfully submitted to your committee.
                HB 2362 would establish the Kansas Military and Veteran Task Force. The task force

         chair of the task force and would be required to call an organizational meeting on or before
         November 1, 2019. The task force would subsequently meet on a quarterly basis prior to scheduled
         meeting of the Governor’s Military Council. The provisions of the bill would expire on September
         1, 2024.
