Bill > SB209

This bill provides a sales tax exemption for sales of firearms, firearm accessories, ammunition, firearm safes, and firearm safety devices in Kansas. The bill defines these terms comprehensively, including specific details about what qualifies under each category. "Firearms" are defined as weapons capable of propelling a projectile through explosion or combustion, while "firearm accessories" include items like sights, magazines, suppressors, and stocks that are used with but not essential to a firearm's basic function. "Firearm safes" are storage containers that can only be unlocked by key or combination, and "firearm safety devices" are mechanisms designed to prevent unauthorized operation of a firearm. By amending the existing sales tax statute (K.S.A. 79-3606), the bill creates a new exemption that will remove sales tax from these specified firearms-related purchases, effectively making such items less expensive for consumers. The bill will take effect upon publication in the statute book, which means consumers can expect the tax exemption to apply immediately after the bill is officially published.
