HB 2690 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Authorizing interior inspections of residential property without the consent of the occupant pursuant to an administrative warrant or when there is probable cause of imminent danger related to health and safety and allowing the city to abate certain interior code violations or delegate such authority to the county.

HB 2690 allows cities and counties (with delegation) to inspect and address interior residential code violations without occupant consent when an administrative warrant is obtained or when there is probable cause of imminent health or safety danger. The bill repeals prior laws requiring consent for such inspections and clarifies that cities may abate health- or safety-related violations directly or delegate this authority to counties. It does not apply to mixed-use properties or standard construction inspections. This change affects residential property owners by removing the consent requirement in specific health and safety emergencies.
