Bill > HB2209

This bill expands the current sales tax exemption for purchases by domestic violence shelters to include domestic and sexual violence programs. Specifically, the bill modifies an existing section of Kansas law (K.S.A. 79-3606) to broaden the sales tax exemption for member agencies of the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence. Under the proposed change, all sales of tangible personal property and services purchased by both domestic and sexual violence programs that are member agencies of this coalition would be exempt from sales tax. This expansion aims to provide financial support to organizations working to prevent and respond to domestic and sexual violence by reducing their operational costs through a sales tax exemption. The bill will take effect upon publication in the statute book, allowing these organizations to benefit from the tax exemption going forward.
