AI Summary
This resolution proposes to amend the Kansas Constitution's Bill of Rights by adding a new section that would grant the public the right to possess and use cannabis for medical purposes, provided it is subject to reasonable laws and regulations designed to protect public health, safety, and general welfare. This amendment requires a two-thirds vote from both the House of Representatives and the Senate to be placed on the ballot for voters to approve or reject at the general election in November 2026, or potentially at an earlier special election if called by the legislature. The Bill of Rights is a fundamental part of a constitution that outlines basic rights and freedoms of citizens.
