Property Tax Relief Plan Aims to Link to Tax Receipts in Kansas
A group of Kansas House Republicans will seek a bill to fund local property tax relief from a share of state sales and income taxes rather than a fixed 12.5 million line item. The plan would set 10 percent of retail sales tax and 10 percent of individual income tax receipts as the new fund, potentially raising about 17.4 million. The session also saw measures on Sunday sale bans, legislative printing upgrades, riot control curfews, emergency powers for mayors, and reflectorization of license plates.
