AI Summary
This bill amends Kansas law to allow municipalities to adopt zoning regulations that establish a minimum distance of 1,320 feet (approximately 0.25 miles) between group homes located in single-family residential zones. The bill defines a "group home" as a dwelling occupied by up to 10 people, including 8 or fewer people with a disability and up to 2 staff members. The bill exempts any group homes in operation as of July 1, 2022, from this minimum distance requirement. The bill also maintains that municipalities cannot prohibit the location of group homes in areas zoned for single-family dwellings.
