On Thursday, March 27th, the Kansas Legislature had its first adjournment from the 2025 regular session. Both chambers will reconvene on April 10th for a veto session.
Several pro-gun bills passed the legislature and have been transmitted to Governor Laura Kelly's desk for her consideration. Please contact the Governor's office and urge her to SIGN these bills!
HB 2052 allows individuals to update their provisional license to a standard license upon reaching the age of 21. Under current law, these individuals are ineligible to transition to a standard concealed carry license upon turning 21 until their four-year provisional license expires.
SB 137 authorized the state to sell seized and forfeited firearms to FFL dealers for resale.
Additionally, this session SCR 1611 passed the legislature and will be on the primary ballot during the next election. SCR 1611 lets the citizens of Kansas vote on state Supreme Court nominees, instead of nominees being chosen by the nominating commission and the Governor.
Two other firearm proposals that were considered this session and will remain eligible for consideration next legislative session are HB 2104, establishing grade-appropriate curriculum guidelines to teach firearm safety to students, and HCR 5006, proposing an amendment codifying that restrictions to arms, ammunition or covered accessories would be subject to strict scrutiny.
