Mayor Quinton Lucas said the new legislation is designed to withstand legal challenges while still protecting residents.

"If you are doing something that is not medically recognized, which is causing harm to people, then you can't do it in Kansas City," Lucas said.

Lucas said the U.S. Supreme Court's recent rulings in Chiles v. Salazar shaped how the ordinance was written, requiring the city to frame the prohibition around harm rather than viewpoint.

"The Supreme Court's direction said you can't establish a viewpoint that x or y thing is bad because the government has said so. What we need to do instead is say it's bad to harm people," Lucas said.
