The Honorable Kent Thompson, Chairperson
House Committee on Local Government
Statehouse, Room 187C-N
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Thompson:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2035 by Representative Amyx
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2035 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2035 would create the Dwayne Peaslee Technical Training Center (DPTTC) District
Act. The bill would require the Douglas County Board of County Commissioners to submit the
question of creation of this District to the voters of the county at the next primary or general
election or at a special election. If the establishment of the District is approved by a majority of
those voting on the issue, the existing Board of Directors of the DPTTC would be dissolved and a
seven-member District board would be created. The organization, obligations, requirements for
meetings, and powers of the Board are created by the bill.
The Board would be authorized to levy a tax not to exceed 0.75 mills on all taxable tangible
property in the District to fund a budget as determined by the Board. The mill levy could be
increased to no more than 2.00 mills by adoption of a resolution, with the procedures for doing so
created in the bill.
According to the Kansas Association of Counties, enactment of HB 2035 would be budget
neutral for Douglas County as new taxes would offset any costs.

Sincerely,

Adam Proffitt
Director of the Budget
