This bill establishes official seals for both the House of Representatives and the Senate of Kansas, detailing their designs and the regulations surrounding their use. The House seal, which is currently affixed to the podium in the chamber, features imagery representing the east, commerce, agriculture, and a historical scene with Native Americans, along with the motto "Ad astra per aspera." The Senate seal, to be procured in 2025, will depict the interior of the Senate chamber and include the same motto. Both seals will be kept in the respective offices of the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate and can be used for official documents and communications, but not for campaign purposes.

Additionally, the bill amends K.S.A. 75-201 to reaffirm the great seal of the state of Kansas while removing outdated language regarding its procurement and the term "Indians," replacing it with "Native Americans." The existing section of K.S.A. 75-201 is repealed, and the act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
