The resolution addresses a ruling by the federal district court of Kansas, which deemed the state's requirement for a two-thirds majority in both legislative houses to ratify amendments to the U.S. Constitution as unconstitutional. In response, the Kansas Legislature proposes an amendment to the state constitution that would change this requirement to a simple majority vote for both houses to pass resolutions related to ratifying U.S. constitutional amendments or applying for a convention of states.

If approved by two-thirds of the members in both the Senate and House, the proposed amendment will be presented to the state's qualified voters during the general election in November 2026. The ballot will include an explanatory statement clarifying that a vote in favor of the amendment would allow for a simple majority to suffice for such resolutions, while a vote against it would maintain the current two-thirds requirement.
