SF5262

Purpose

The bill changes a previously approved capital investment appropriation to fund a Civil Air Patrol facility in Hutchinson. It redirects or updates funding to support a grant to the city of Hutchinson for building a hangar and a statewide Civil Air Patrol training center.

Main provisions

• Replaces the existing subdivision 10 language in Laws 2023 chapter 71 article 1 with a focus on Hutchinson Civil Air Patrol.
• Authorizes a grant to the city of Hutchinson.
• Uses the grant to predesign, design, construct, equip, and furnish a hangar and a statewide training center for the Civil Air Patrol.
• The funded project is located in Hutchinson and is tied to the Civil Air Patrol rather than the previously referenced Camp Craig Training Facility.

Significant changes to existing law

• Modifies a prior appropriation from Laws 2023 to redirect funds toward the Hutchinson Civil Air Patrol project.
• Alters the purpose of the funds from the Camp Craig Training Facility to the construction and outfitting of a Civil Air Patrol hangar and training center in Hutchinson.
• Updates the legal subsection to specify the grant activities (predesign through furnishing) for the Civil Air Patrol facility.

How the funding works

• A grant is provided to the city of Hutchinson.
• The grant covers designing and building a hangar and a statewide training center, plus equipment and furnishings.
• The project is framed as a capital investment and is part of the state’s approach to funding infrastructure related to the Civil Air Patrol.

Implementation notes

• The changes are a modification to an existing appropriation and thus rely on the parameters of the updated subsection for funding allocations and project scope.
• The facility is intended to serve as both a hangar and a statewide training center for Civil Air Patrol activities.
