Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill expands the property tax exemption for Strother field airport property by modifying existing Kansas law (K.S.A. 79-201r). Currently, the Strother field airport commission is exempt from paying ad valorem taxes (property taxes) on property owned prior to January 1, 1992. The bill broadens this exemption to include the political subdivisions comprising the Strother field airport commission and extends the tax exemption to all property depicted on the airport's federally approved airport layout plan. This expanded exemption covers properties used for aviation-related purposes, promoting aviation commerce, or generating revenue to operate Strother field components and activities. The bill effectively ensures that such properties will be exempt from all property or ad valorem taxes levied under Kansas law. Additionally, the bill includes a provision to repeal the existing section of law, replacing it with the new, more expansive tax exemption language.
