Maddy summaryThis bill proposes an amendment to the Kansas Constitution to explicitly state that only United States citizens who are at least 18 years old and residents of their voting area are eligible to vote in the state. The key provision clarifies existing requirements by listing them as mandatory conditions for being a qualified elector, while including exceptions that allow citizens to vote absentee or in their former residence if they temporarily move within Kansas or during specific federal election periods. If passed by the legislature and approved by voters in a 2026 election, the change would formally codify current voting rules without altering the fundamental right to vote for those who meet the stated criteria.

Maddy summaryThis Kansas House resolution expresses strong legislative support for the 190th Air Refueling Wing in Topeka to be selected as a finalist for a new KC-46A Pegasus aircraft mission. The bill highlights that the unit currently operates aging KC-135R planes and argues that its strategic location and experienced personnel make it well-suited for the upgrade. By formally endorsing the wing's application, the resolution aims to encourage the federal government to award the contract to this specific unit. This measure does not directly allocate funds or mandate the purchase but serves as an official statement of preference from the state legislature.
