2025 Session Laws of Kansas

MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR

House Bill No. 2101

An Act concerning public assistance; prohibiting cities and counties from adopting or implementing a guaranteed income program; rendering prior adopted programs null and void; defining guaranteed income program.

Message to the Legislature of the State of Kansas:

I have long been a proponent of local control, allowing local elected officials to make decisions for the communities they live in and were elected to represent. However, I am concerned that a guaranteed income program would exacerbate the current problem of disproportionately high local property taxes.

Therefore, I will allow House Bill 2101 to become law without my signature.

Laura Kelly, Governor

Dated April 3, 2025.
