====== SB 370 Passes Senate Committee! ======


Thank you Kansas!


----

|Thanks to all who responded to the Call to Action last week regarding [[https://kslegislature.org/li/b2023_24/measures/documents/sb370_00_0000.pdf|SB 370]]. The Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee voted today to send this measure on to the Senate for consideration. A corresponding bill, House Bill 2476 is in the House Fed & State Committee. These identical bills prohibit Congress from designating Kansas land as a National Heritage Area or National Historic Trail without the consent of the Kansas Legislature. \\ \\ These bills do not stop federal overreach but do provide a check on the federal government, acting through the National Park Service, to create another federal jurisdiction without local approval. \\ \\ Senator Jeff Longbine remarked that a number of people in his district wanted to see this measure go forward. That means your grassroots action hit the target. Thank you Kansas!|
