         Dear Representative Barker:
                   SUBJECT:       Fiscal Note for HB 2113 by Representative Xu
                 In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2113 is
         respectfully submitted to your committee.
                 HB 2113 would establish the Advisory Commission on Asian-American Pacific Islander
         Affairs in the Office of the Governor. The Commission would comprise seven members appointed
         by the Governor who would serve three-year terms. No more than four members would be of the
         same political party. Each congressional district would be represented on the Commission by at
         least one member and the remainder would represent the state at-large. The bill would outline the
         Commission’s functions and powers. The Commission may appoint an executive director, subject
         to the approval of the Governor.
