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.

# HR 5036 Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would allow Sedgwick County, Kansas to change how Northeast Sedgwick County Park is used, removing restrictions that currently prevent converting it from public recreation land to other purposes. The park received federal funding through the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), which comes with strings attached—specifically, a requirement that the land remain available for public outdoor recreation. If passed, this bill would eliminate that requirement for this particular park, freeing the county to potentially develop or repurpose the property for other uses. **Who It Affects and Current Status** The bill primarily affects Sedgwick County and its residents, though it represents a local-level land use decision.

It was introduced by Republican Representative Ron Estes of Kansas. As of now, the bill remains in committee and has not advanced further through Congress, meaning it has not been voted on by the full House or Senate. Without additional action, it will likely expire at the end of the congressional session unless reintroduced.
