The Honorable Emil Bergquist, Chairperson
House Committee on Local Government
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 281-N
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Bergquist:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2127 by House Committee on Local Government
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2127 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2127 would allow city and county governments to adopt and enforce any ordinance,
resolution, or regulation relating to the sale or purchase of firearms, ammunition, or firearm
components within any building owned by the city or county.
The Office of the Attorney General indicates that enactment of the bill could result in
litigation challenging its constitutionality. The Attorney General estimates that the cost to defend
against these legal challenges could exceed $1.0 million per fiscal year; however, a precise
estimate of this fiscal effect was unable to be calculated. Any fiscal effect associated with HB
2127 is not reflected in The FY 2026 Governor’s Budget Report.
The League of Kansas Municipalities and the Kansas Association of Counties indicate that
the bill would have a negligible fiscal effect on local governments.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
