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 remove a specific federal constraint tied to land funded by the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) for Northeast Sedgwick County Park in Sedgwick County, Kansas. By explicitly stating that Section 200305(f)(3) of title 54 United States Code “shall not apply” to this park, the bill would allow the park to be converted to a use other than public outdoor recreation without being subject to the LWCF limitation that typically restricts such conversions or requires reimbursement. In short, it removes the LWCF-related hurdle that otherwise would prevent or complicate repurposing the park. The bill is a narrowly targeted change with no other provisions or funding changes. It does not specify any approved alternate use or funding plan; rather, it lifts the federal restriction for this specific park, leaving local decisions and other applicable laws to govern any redevelopment.
