(KOAM) – Governor Laura Kelly’s bipartisan tax cut package has been officially introduced in the Kansas House and Senate.
“The introduction of this bipartisan tax cut plan in both chambers is the first step toward putting money back in the pockets of hard-working Kansans,” Governor Laura Kelly said . “This comprehensive, fiscally responsible plan to cut property, sales, and retirement taxes benefits middle-class families — without putting at risk our public schools, roads, and stable economy.”
The tax plan, which saves Kansans more than $1 billion over three years:
- Cuts state property taxes for Kansas homeowners;
- Entirely eliminates state taxes on Social Security income;
- Increases the standard deduction so Kansans pay less when filing their state income taxes;
- Immediately axes the state sales tax on groceries, diapers, and feminine hygiene products;
- Provides relief for working families in need of child care; and
- Creates a back-to-school state sales tax holiday.
The bill introduced in the Kansas House is House Bill 2586 .
