HB 2101 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Prohibiting municipalities from adopting and implementing a guaranteed income program.

HB 2101 prohibits Kansas cities and counties from creating or funding guaranteed income programs using local tax revenue. It specifically bans any program providing regular cash payments to individuals without work requirements (unless required by federal law), and invalidates any such programs adopted before July 1, 2025. The bill defines a "guaranteed income program" as one not mandated by federal law that offers unconditional cash support. This law directly affects local governments by restricting their ability to implement such financial assistance initiatives without state legislative approval.
