Bill Summary
AN ACT concerning state elected officials and certain local government elected officials; requiring that such elected officials be and remain residents of the state and such official's respective district; amending K.S.A. 22a-102, 25-101a, 25-2020, 40-109, 71-1414 and 80-202 and K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 25-1903 and repealing the existing sections.
AI Summary
This bill requires that individuals running for or holding certain elected offices, including district attorneys, governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, state commissioner of insurance, state board of education members, school board members, community college trustees, and township officials, must be and remain a qualified elector residing in the state or their specific district. A "qualified elector" is generally a person eligible to vote. If a candidate or officeholder fails to meet this residency requirement at any point from candidacy through their term, it will immediately create a vacancy in their candidacy or office. The bill amends several existing Kansas Statutes Annotated (K.S.A.) sections to implement these residency requirements and repeals the original versions of those sections.
