Bill > SB195

This bill establishes a property tax task force in Kansas consisting of nine members, including legislative leaders and representatives from both the senate and house of representatives. The task force will be chaired by a senate member appointed by the senate president and will have the authority to meet anywhere in the state upon the chairperson's call, with five members constituting a quorum. The primary purpose of this task force is to comprehensively review Kansas' property tax system and develop recommendations for improvements, focusing on areas such as property valuations and tax levies on real property. The members will be eligible for standard legislative compensation for attending authorized meetings, and they are required to submit a detailed report to the legislature by January 31, 2026, outlining their findings and suggested legal modifications. The legislative staff from the office of revisor of statutes, legislative research department, and division of legislative administrative services will provide necessary assistance to the task force. The task force and its provisions will expire on January 31, 2026, ensuring a time-limited but focused effort to evaluate and potentially reform the state's property tax system.
