Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly executed her veto power Monday on five different bills, including a property tax relief bill. Lawmakers in both the House and Senate will need to achieve two-thirds majorities in order to defeat Kelly’s veto of the following bills: HB 2043 would have allowed Kansans to petition against increases in property tax revenues. It would also continue reimbursements from the taxpayer notification costs fund for an additional five years. HB 2111 would have exempted certain registered agritourism operations from local code and regulation enforcement. HB 2515 would have established the Kansas Legal Tender Act. This act reaffirms gold and silver coin as legal tender and provides an income taxation subtraction modification for gains from the sale of coined metal. HB 2044 would have provided a tax deduction for compensation for serving in the armed forces. It also prevents those who have previously qualified from losing eligibility for a homestead property tax refund claim or the selective assistance for effective senior relief tax credit if their valuation exceeds $350,000. HB 2763 would have required school districts provide a certain amount of daily recess time for students and established a state fitness test. It also prohibited limiting or withholding recess for disciplinary reasons.
