This bill amends K.S.A. 79-2401a to modify the process for redeeming real estate bid off by the county for delinquent taxes and special assessments. It specifies that for homesteads, the payment of special assessments for years other than the year being redeemed is not required for partial redemption. The bill also establishes that real estate, including abandoned buildings, will be held by the county for different redemption periods: two years for general properties and one year for abandoned structures. The language clarifies the conditions under which properties can be redeemed and the requirements for payment.

Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 79-2401a, effectively replacing it with the new provisions outlined in the act. The changes aim to streamline the redemption process and provide clearer guidelines for property owners regarding their obligations when redeeming properties sold for delinquent taxes and assessments. The act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
