income program.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:
Section 1. (a) A city or county shall not adopt or enforce an ordinance
or resolution, respectively, that establishes or provides for the operation of
a guaranteed income program {that uses tax revenue unless the
legislature expressly consents to and approves of such program by an
act of the legislature}.
(b) Any ordinance or resolution prohibited by subsection (a) that was
adopted prior to July 1, 2025, shall be null and void.
(c) As used in this section, "guaranteed income program" means a
program that {is not expressly required by federal law or regulation
and} provides individuals with a regular periodic cash payment that may
be used for any purpose without requiring such individuals to be
employed, seek employment or attend employment-related training to
receive such funds.
Sec. 2. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its
publication in the statute book.
