The bill prohibits cities and counties in Kansas from adopting or implementing any guaranteed income programs that utilize tax revenue unless explicitly approved by the state legislature. It defines a "guaranteed income program" as one that provides regular cash payments to individuals and is not mandated by federal law. Additionally, any such programs that were adopted prior to July 1, 2025, will be rendered null and void.
This legislation aims to centralize control over guaranteed income initiatives, ensuring that local governments cannot independently establish these programs without state consent. The bill will take effect upon its publication in the statute book, reinforcing the state's authority over local financial assistance programs.
