Providing an excise tax on large employers for certain federal benefits paid to employees.
HB 2432 imposes a tax on large Kansas employers (those averaging 500+ employees annually) equal to the value of certain federal benefits their employees receive. These benefits include SNAP food assistance, school meals, housing subsidies, and Medicaid coverage. The bill also prohibits employers from asking job applicants about whether they receive these benefits. Employers must pay this tax to the state, with all revenue going directly to the state general fund. The law targets employers who benefit from federal support programs for their workers.
