Proposing a constitutional amendment to grant counties home rule powers.

Summary

The measure would add a new section to Article 9 of the Kansas Constitution, allowing counties to set their own policies, taxes and fees unless the state legislature passes uniform laws that limit them. Counties could adopt charter resolutions to opt out of non‑uniform state statutes, subject to a two‑thirds vote, publication, and possible voter referendum. The amendment failed to advance, dying in committee.
