Kansas 2.0 Legislature Wants Power over Executive Rule Making

What is happening? This fall voters in Kansas will vote whether the Legislature has the power to review and overturn executive rule making. The Legislature says the point is to follow legislative intent. Opponents say it is to give the Legislature super powers (not in the way Super Man has super powers).

Why is this important? Legislatures wanting to reign in Gubernatorial powers took on new meaning during the pandemic, and Kansas will vote whether to go further.

How will this be important? This summer Kansas voters denied the Legislature power over abortion restrictions by keeping abortion protections in the Kansas constitution.
