To remove the limitation imposed as a result of receiving funding under the Land and Water Conservation Fund on the conversion of Northeast Sedgwick County Park in Sedgwick County, Kansas, to a use other than public outdoor recreation.

This bill would let Northeast Sedgwick County Park in Kansas be turned into something other than a public outdoor recreation area. Right now, parks that used Land and Water Conservation Fund money usually can’t be converted to other uses. This bill makes an exception for this one park by saying that rule does not apply there.

Key points:

• Who is affected: People who use Northeast Sedgwick County Park and nearby communities in Sedgwick County, Kansas.
• What changes: The park could be used for a non-recreation purpose, if local leaders decide to do so, because the usual federal limit would no longer apply to this park.
• Why it matters: Park space could shrink or change, which may affect outdoor access, events, and neighborhood green space.
