Appointment to the Kansas Interagency Coordinating Council

When positions are open on the Kansas ICC, notification is sent to stakeholders across the state. Individuals can self-nominate or be nominated by others. Membership on the Kansas ICC is determined by one of several processes.

  1. The Governor makes most of the appointments for a four-year term. He/She fills open positions in one of several categories: parent members, provider members, and general public members.
  2. Legislative leadership decides who will fill the two legislative positions. These two-year terms are generally formalized by the Legislative Coordinating Council.
  3. State Agency heads determine whether they will serve or who will serve as their designees. These agencies include: the Kansas State Department of Education, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation, the Kansas Health Policy Authority, the Kansas Insurance Department, and the Kansas Board of Regents.
