HB 2282 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Providing that covenants, conditions or restrictions established between January 1, 1948, and December 31, 1958, that restrict the use of real property owned by state educational institutions for only single-family residence purposes and contain discriminatory provisions to restrict ownership or tenancy by race are against public policy and void.

HB 2282 declares void any covenant, condition, or restriction on property owned by Kansas state educational institutions that restricts the property to single-family residences *and* contains racial discrimination in ownership or tenancy. It specifically targets agreements established between January 1, 1948, and December 31, 1958, making these provisions unenforceable. The law directly affects state colleges and universities whose property records include such discriminatory clauses. This is a concrete policy change voiding specific historical restrictions, not a new policy.
