Governor signs property tax legislation

Governor Laura Kelly today ceremonially signed legislation at a Topeka home to celebrate the bipartisan passage of House Bill 2239, which cuts property taxes. It provides additional tax relief for Kansas veterans and the elderly through property tax refunds and gives tax credits to teachers who purchase school supplies out of their own pockets. ?Governor Laura Kelly said, “Today, we’re celebrating a bipartisan tax cut for families to put money back into Kansans’ pockets. Families will now have more money to buy food, school supplies, or pay the bills – every bit helps. We’ll continue to make fiscally responsible decisions to provide relief to Kansans across the state.”
