Beginning in January 2023, the Kansas Wildlife and Parks Commission will begin all public meetings at NOON (12 p.m.), concluding only when business is complete; the Commission will no longer take an automatic recess at 5 p.m. And, the Kansas Wildlife and Parks Commission will hold the public hearing discussion and vote at the beginning of each public meeting (as opposed to the end of each meeting), to ensure ample time for public input prior to other Commission activities taking place.
