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. The amendment specifically alters Section 13 of Article 2 of the Kansas Constitution to reflect this change, allowing for a more accessible process for ratifying constitutional amendments or applying for a convention of states.

If approved by two-thirds of the members in both the Senate and House, the resolution will be recorded in the legislative journals and published by the Secretary of State. The proposed amendment will then be presented to the state's voters during the general election in November 2026, unless a special election is called sooner. The ballot will include an explanatory statement outlining the implications of the amendment, clarifying that a vote in favor would simplify the legislative process for constitutional amendments, while a vote against would maintain the current two-thirds requirement.
