Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has vetoed a property tax bill, House Bill 2745, and supported a three-part relief plan partially introduced by Sen. Ethan Corson (D-Prairie Village). The bill, which set a 3% cap on property tax revenue growth for local governments, would have allowed residents to petition against local government budget increases exceeding 3%. Kelly argued that the bill fails to deliver real property tax relief and restricts local elected officials' flexibility to manage their communities. The bill passed the House 76-45 on Feb. 26 and cleared the Senate 22-18 on March 27 under emergency final action. However, it has stalled in the Senate and has been criticized by Republicans for being political.
