Kansas HCR5009 proposes a constitutional amendment reserving the power of initiative to the people of Kansas.

Kansas HCR5009 proposes a constitutional amendment reserving the power of initiative to the people of Kansas. This means the people can propose and enact or reject laws and amendments to the constitution independently of the legislature. If approved by two-thirds of the members in both the House and Senate, the amendment will be submitted to the electors at the 2026 general election. The amendment outlines the process for initiative petitions, including the required percentage of signatures and the timeline for filing.
