HB 2464 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Extending the number of years that tax credits may be issued or earned for contributions to graduates of aerospace and aviation-related educational programs and employers of program graduates, the tax credits for contributions to the Eisenhower foundation and friends of cedar crest association and the sunset for the angel investor tax credit and providing for a minimum amount of such credits for investments in counties with a population of 50,000 or fewer.

HB 2464 extends the deadline for claiming tax credits related to aerospace and aviation education programs in Kansas. It directly affects graduates of these programs and employers who hire them, allowing new credits to be issued or earned until December 31, 2036 - previously ending in 2026. The bill amends Kansas tax law (K.S.A. 79-32,295) to change the expiration date for these credits and repeals the prior deadline provision. This policy change provides continued financial incentives for employers and educational institutions in the aerospace and aviation sectors.

MODERATE
The bill was significantly streamlined to focus exclusively on extending the expiration date for a single tax credit related to aerospace and aviation education. All references to the Eisenhower Foundation and the Cedar Crest Association were removed, and the complex multi-section structure was reduced to a single repeal of the general credit provision.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed from addressing three separate tax credits (aerospace, Eisenhower Foundation, and Cedar Crest) to addressing only one (aerospace).
SCOPE

Removed all provisions and credits related to the Eisenhower Foundation and the Friends of Cedar Crest Association.

Deleted Section 1, which previously amended the statute governing the Eisenhower Foundation credit.

Deleted Section 2, which previously amended the statute governing the Cedar Crest Association credit.

The bill was restructured to repeal the entire section governing new tax credits instead of amending specific subsections for multiple organizations.

TIMELINE

The expiration date for the aerospace education credit was extended from December 31, 2026, to December 31, 2029.
