The proposed bill, known as the "no-impact home-based business fairness act," establishes a framework for the operation of home-based businesses in residential areas of Kansas. It defines key terms such as "no-impact home-based business" and "rural no-impact home-based business," outlining specific criteria that these businesses must meet, including limitations on the number of employees and clients, restrictions on visibility and traffic impact, and compliance with local occupancy limits. The bill permits the operation of these businesses, superseding any existing deed restrictions or covenants, unless there are clear and applicable restrictions from homeowners associations that indicate non-compliance with the act's requirements.

Additionally, the bill prohibits municipalities from imposing unnecessary regulations or requiring permits for no-impact home-based businesses, while allowing for narrowly tailored regulations related to public health and safety, compliance with laws, and tax payments. It also specifies that municipalities cannot require rezoning or additional safety measures, such as fire sprinklers, for these businesses. The act emphasizes that any municipal regulation must be justified and compliant with the provisions of the bill, establishing a judicial standard for compliance verification. The act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
