This bill amends existing property taxation laws in Kansas by modifying deadlines for mailing tax statements to taxpayers and for the certification of levies to the director of property valuation. Specifically, it changes the deadline for the county clerk to transmit tax statements from November 15 to November 1, and for mailing tax statements to taxpayers from December 15 to December 1. Additionally, if a taxing subdivision fails to file its budget on time, the county clerk is authorized to use the previous year's budget for tax calculations. The bill also mandates that all budget information be filed electronically with the county clerk and the director of accounts and reports.

The bill repeals existing sections of K.S.A. 79-1806, K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 79-2001, and K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 79-2930, which contained the previous deadlines and procedures. The new provisions aim to streamline the property tax process and ensure timely communication between county officials and taxpayers. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
