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 the deadline for mailing tax statements to taxpayers from December 15 to December 1. Additionally, the bill allows the county clerk to use the previous year's budget if a taxing subdivision fails to file its budget on time, ensuring that tax levies can still be calculated and reported.

The bill also includes provisions for electronic transmission of tax statements and information forms, provided that taxpayers consent to such methods. It repeals existing sections of the law that are being amended, specifically K.S.A. 79-1806, K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 79-2001, and K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 79-2930, to streamline the process and ensure compliance with the new deadlines. The changes aim to improve the efficiency of property tax administration in Kansas.
