Legislation Submission 2025-2026


Legislation Submission

INTRODUCTION
Use this form to submit legislation for consideration by the KU Student Senate. This includes constitutional amendments, resolutions, and more. For bill templates, visit our website.

LEGISLATIVE SCHEDULE: Access the legislative meeting schedule here. Student Senate works in two-week legislative cycles. The student councils will meet in the first week to give initial consideration to submitted legislation. Then, the Students' Assembly will meet in the second week to give final approval. Legislation is due on the Sunday before council meetings at 5:00 PM.

FILING REQUIREMENTS: If you are not a Student Senator, or member of our legislative or executive staff, then your legislation must be sponsored by a senator or staff member before it can be considered.

FUNDING BILLS: For student organization funding, we recommend using the funding application form listed in the Explore Forms list before filling legislation here.

To submit a funding bill here instead, you must notify the Student Senate Treasurer and use the Funding Bill Template

CONTACT US: For questions about legislative matters or requests for filing extensions, contact the Speaker of the Students' Assembly at senatespeaker@ku.edu.

After submission, our legislative staff will be in contact to share details about when you can present your legislation to the student councils and assembly. If you have submitted your legislation past the Friday deadline for the current legislative cycle, then you may have to wait for the next cycle to begin.
