HB2711

Modifying and updating procedures for dissolution of cities of the third class.

Complete·3/23/26

Kansas HB2711 updates the process for dissolving third-class cities, requiring an election to determine dissolution.

Kansas HB2711 modifies the procedures for dissolving third-class cities. It mandates that if a majority of legal voters petition for dissolution, the city council must schedule an election. The ballot question will ask voters whether the city should remain or be dissolved. If two-thirds of voters choose dissolution, the city ceases to exist, and its territory becomes part of the township. The city's records are transferred to the township clerk, and any debts are handled by the township trustee. The act amends and repeals existing sections of Kansas Statutes.
