Book excerpt: As previously noted in Attorney General Opinion No. 85-110, a concurrent resolution containing a constitutional amendment adopted by the legislature during the 1985 session may be amended during the 1986 session prior to being submitted to the voters in November, 1986. At present, Chapter 360 of the Laws of 1985 provides for the submission to the voters of an amendment to Article 15, Section 10, which would allow liquor by the drink under certain circumstances. The amendment must be approved by a majority of the voters of the entire state in order to be adopted and a majority of the voters in a particular county before becoming effective in that county. Such a "dual purpose" is clearly disclosed in the explanatory statement which is to be printed on the ballot with the proposed amendment. Further, since the Kansas Constitution limits, rather than confers, power, the people of the state may amend the constitution in any manner they deem appropriate, subject only to the limits of the United States Constitution.
