HOUSE BILL No. 2470
AN A CT concerning economic development; relating to the Kansas neighborhood
revitalization act; providing that certain municipalities may designate the entire
municipality within a neighborhood revitalization area; amending K.S.A. 12-17,116
and repealing the existing section.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:
Section 1. K.S.A. 12-17,116 is hereby amended to read as follows:
12-17,116. The governing body of any municipality may designate any
area within such municipality as a neighborhood revitalization area if
the governing body finds that one or more of the conditions as
described in subsection (c) of K.S.A. 12-17,115 (c), and amendments
thereto, exist and that the rehabilitation, conservation or redevelopment
of the area is necessary to protect the public health, safety or welfare of
the residents of the municipality. The governing body may declare a
building outside of a neighborhood revitalization area to be a
dilapidated structure if the structure satisfies the conditions set forth in
subsection (a) of K.S.A. 12- 17,115(a). Nothing in the Kansas
neighborhood revitalization act shall prohibit any municipality with a
population of less than 10,000 people from designating the entire
municipality as being within a neighborhood revitalization area.
Sec. 2. K.S.A. 12-17,116 is hereby repealed.
Sec. 3. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its
publication in the statute book.
I hereby certify that the above BILL originated in the HOUSE, and passed
