    TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Kansas has formed a task force to study how state agencies can use drones in their operations.

    The Kansas Department of Transportation said in a news release Wednesday that the Unmanned Aerial Systems Joint Task Force will also consider how state government can help the private sector use drones.

    Task force members are Josh Row, assistant secretary of Agriculture; Billy Brown, agribusiness development coordinator for the Agriculture Department; Matt Keith, director of research for the Department of Commerce; Chris Tymeson, chief counsel for the Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism; Frank Papish, assistant director of the KBI; and Ron Seitz, chief of KDOT’s Division of Engineering and Design.

    In July, the state named Air Force veteran Bo Brock as its first director of an unmanned aircraft systems program in Kansas.
