HCR 5023 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Proposing to amend the constitution of the state of Kansas to provide that property tax exemptions be approved by the electors of the state.

This bill proposes to amend the Kansas Constitution to require voter approval for any property tax exemptions. If passed, the change would shift the authority currently held by the state legislature to the electorate, meaning voters would directly decide whether specific groups or properties receive tax breaks. The measure does not create new exemptions itself but establishes a new rule for how future exemptions must be approved. It directly affects Kansas voters, property owners, and local governments by altering the process for determining tax relief.
