As Governor Kelly Pushes for Tax Cuts, All of Her 'Axing Your Taxes' Plan Introduced in Kansas House and Senate

“Kansans need relief from rising grocery prices, the cost of school supplies, and the social security income tax cliff retirees currently experience. Because of the work we’ve done to balance our budget, fully fund schools, and attract business to the state, we can provide responsible tax cuts for Kansas families. Now that these bills are introduced, let's work together to get them passed.”  

Kansans can track the progress of the Governor’s proposals at the following links: 

  • SB 57 and HB 2111 – Elimination of State Sales Tax on Groceries, Diapers, and Feminine Hygiene Products
  • SB 55 and HB 2108 – Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday
  • SB 56 and HB 2109 – Social Security Income Tax Relief

Governor Kelly Announces Nearly $45 Million to Connect Kansans to High-Speed Internet

“The Capital Projects Fund represents a giant step toward getting every Kansan connected to high-speed internet. With this funding, we’re closer than ever to reaching our goal of making Kansas a top 10 state for broadband access by 2030.”
