Bill > HCR5028

This joint resolution proposes to amend the Kansas Constitution's Bill of Rights by adding a new section that would grant adults the right to possess and use cannabis, provided it is subject to reasonable laws and regulations designed to protect public health, safety, and general welfare. This amendment requires approval by two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate to be placed on the ballot for voters to decide, likely at the general election in November 2026, unless a special election is called sooner by the legislature. The resolution also outlines the explanatory statement that will appear on the ballot to inform voters about the proposed change.
