The Kansas Wildlife and Parks Commission serves in an advisory capacity to the Governor and Secretary in formulating policies and plans of the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. The commission facilitates public hearings on rules and regulations proposed by the Secretary, ultimately voting to approve, modify, or reject those proposed rules and regulations. The Commission is required by state law to preserve the right to hunt, fish, and trap wildlife, which is established in section 21 of the the Kansas Constitution's Bill of Rights.
