Assessment and Taxation Committee approves introduction requests for multiple RS bills
Summary
The committee agreed without objection to requests to introduce several RS (request) bills, including an earnings-tax request and proposals affecting tax collection retention, sales-tax treatment of remodeling, and an income-tax exemption.
At the start of the session, the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee approved requests to introduce several RS (request) bills. Committee members asked for any objections and, seeing none, the chair directed staff to make the requests.
The requests recorded in the hearing included:
- RS322: described by a committee member as “an earnings tax bill.” - RS0737: introduced by Scott Schneider on behalf of the Kansas Restaurant and Hospitality Association; the measure would allow a tax collector to retain a portion of tax collected, capped at $300 per month. - RS0739: introduced on behalf of the Associated General Contractors; described as equalizing the tax treatment for remodeling with original construction (a sales-tax exemption). - RS0298: described as an income-tax exemption (no further detail given during the request).
Each request was made with the phrase “Any questions? Any objections? We'll make the request,” and the committee proceeded without recorded objections. No formal roll-call votes were recorded at that time; the transcript records unanimous assent to file the requests.
