Senate Tax Committee accepts three bill requests including insurance tax measure and Hunters Nation plate
Summary
Kansas lawmakers in the Senate Tax Committee agreed, without objection, to bill requests for a state premium tax reduction (RS0116), creation of insurance savings accounts (RS0134), and a Hunters Nation license plate, all presented for committee referral.
Eric Turk, director of government affairs for the Kansas Department of Insurance, told the Senate Tax Committee he filed two bill requests: RS0116, “which concerns reducing the state premium tax,” and RS0134, “which concerns the creation of insurance savings accounts.” Chair Senator Karen Tyson asked if there were objections; seeing none, she said the committee would make the requests.
Separately, the chair introduced a transportation-related bill request for a specialty license plate to be called “Hunters Nation.” Committee members asked no questions and the request was accepted for referral.
Those items were introduced as bill requests at the committee’s opening business. No hearings, amendments, or formal votes were taken on the measures during the meeting; committee staff will schedule hearings and assign formal bill numbers as appropriate.
The committee also heard administrative and staffing introductions from committee assistant John Gaunt, assistant reviser Amelia Kovar Donahue and others before moving to a longer presentation on state revenues.
