AI Summary

This joint resolution proposes to amend the Kansas Constitution to change how certain properties are valued for property tax purposes. Specifically, it would allow the legislature to provide for freezing or limiting property tax valuations for owner-occupied homes of qualifying seniors. Additionally, for residential, commercial, and industrial real property, as well as mobile homes used for residential purposes, their taxable valuation would be based on the lesser of their current fair market value or an average of their fair market values over a period of years, with the legislature determining the number of years for this average and any necessary adjustments for factors like new construction. This change aims to potentially reduce the impact of rapid property value increases on tax bills.
