Proposing a constitutional amendment to grant Kansas counties home rule powers.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to grant Kansas counties home rule powers, allowing them to determine local affairs and government, except when preempted by statewide laws. Counties could exempt themselves from non-uniform state laws by passing charter resolutions, which require a two-thirds vote and publication in local newspapers. If approved by two-thirds of both legislative houses, the amendment would be submitted to voters in 2026.
