HB 2083 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Providing a property tax exemption for new energy storage systems and excluding new energy storage systems from the commercial and industrial machinery and equipment exemption.

HB 2083 creates a property tax exemption for new energy storage systems in Kansas, effective January 1, 2026. It specifically excludes these systems from the existing commercial and industrial machinery and equipment tax exemption while granting them a separate tax exemption under K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 79-266. This directly affects businesses or developers installing new energy storage systems (like battery storage for renewable energy) after the effective date. The bill ensures these systems are taxed differently than standard machinery, providing a financial incentive for new clean energy infrastructure. Systems approved before January 1, 2026, are not covered by this new exemption.

What changed between versions

As Introduced → As Amended by House Committee on Taxation · 1 edit
MINOR
The bill was amended by the House Committee on Taxation to correct a date discrepancy in the eligibility criteria for property tax exemptions on new energy storage systems. The original text incorrectly set the effective date as January 1, 2026, but the amendment changes this to January 1, 2025, aligning the start date with other provisions in the bill. This change ensures that new energy storage systems installed in 2025 are eligible for the tax exemption, rather than waiting until 2026.
Scope change
The scope of the tax exemption was expanded to include energy storage systems installed in 2025, whereas the original version would have excluded them until 2026.
TIMELINE

The effective date for the new energy storage system tax exemption was changed from January 1, 2026, to January 1, 2025, in multiple sections of the bill.
