The resolution from the State of Kansas expresses strong opposition to any federal legislation or policy that would preempt state laws regulating artificial intelligence (AI). It emphasizes that such federal preemption would infringe upon the state's constitutional powers under the Tenth Amendment, which reserves authority to states for matters not explicitly delegated to the federal government. The resolution highlights the importance of state authority in various sectors, including election administration, public safety, healthcare, and consumer protection, and argues that federal proposals have significant flaws, such as ambiguous definitions and a lack of meaningful protections.

Furthermore, the resolution asserts that states are better positioned to tailor AI regulations to meet local needs and that federal intervention could disrupt carefully considered state policymaking. It calls for Congress to establish a strong federal baseline of protections while allowing states to enact more stringent regulations as necessary. The resolution concludes by affirming Kansas's constitutional authority to regulate AI and rejecting any federal proposals that would undermine this authority, while also clarifying that it does not oppose reasonable federal standards that respect state rights.
