Bill Summary
AN ACT concerning local government; relating to certain taxing jurisdictions; requiring approval of property tax levies and bond issuances by elected bodies or electors; amending K.S.A. 3-114, 12- 1220, 12-1234, 12-1267, 12-1270, 12-1276, 12-1288, 12-1688, 12- 1927, 12-1928, 12-1936, 13-13a18, 13-13a23, 19-3557, 19-3617, 19- 3622, 27-322, 27-323, 27-333, 75-2551, 80-1520 and 80-1548 and repealing the existing sections.
AI Summary
This bill requires that any property tax levies or bond issuances by local government taxing jurisdictions must be approved by either an elected governing body or by a majority of the electors (voters) in that jurisdiction, with a few exceptions for specific taxes like those for K.S.A. 72-5142. The bill amends numerous existing laws to implement this requirement, often by adding provisions that mandate submission of proposed levies or bond issuances to an elected body or the voters for approval before they can be enacted. This aims to give citizens more control over the amount of property taxes levied against them.
