Bill > SB434

This bill modifies the criteria for determining disability for certain retailer's sales tax exemptions for veterans and military personnel in Kansas, specifically by changing how a veteran's disability rating is established to qualify for these exemptions, moving from a certification by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to a determination made by the secretary of a military component under specific federal statutes (10 U.S.C. Chapter 61 or 38 U.S.C. Chapter 11) for a 100% permanent and total service-connected disability or a total disability rating based on unemployability. The bill also updates the language regarding discharge status, allowing for a "general discharge under honorable conditions" in addition to an "honorable discharge," and clarifies that the exemption applies to sales of tangible personal property or services, with certain exceptions like motor vehicles and tobacco, for residents who meet these updated disability and service criteria.
