Kansas Senate advances tax relief and traffic bills
The Kansas Senate, ready to act on House-passed measures, moved a $1,000 homestead exemption bill into a broader tax relief measure. It would cut homeowners' property taxes by deducting 1,000 from 30 percent assessed valuation, shifting some burden to other property. The chamber also approved a habitual traffic violator bill, defining repeat offenses and imposing a five-year license revocation.
