SB 300 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Providing for the apportionment of business income by manufacturers of alcoholic liquor depending on whether the taxpayer is a qualifying Kansas investor or a general manufacturer and removing obsolete reference to global intangible low-taxed income provided for under the federal internal revenue code in determining Kansas adjusted gross income.

SB 300 prohibits Kansas state agencies, including the state bank commissioner, from becoming receivers for technology-enabled fiduciary financial institutions that become insolvent or declare bankruptcy. The bill defines these institutions as entities managing alternative assets (such as private equity or real estate) through digital platforms, with insolvency determined when assets can't cover debts or creditor demands can't be met normally. This law amends Kansas statutes to explicitly prevent state agency intervention in such cases, directing resolution to other mechanisms. It directly affects technology-enabled fiduciary financial institutions operating under Kansas law and state regulatory bodies.

What changed between versions

As Amended by House Committee on Financial Institutions and Pensions Enrolled · 5 edits · Apr 10, 2026
MODERATE
The bill was completely rewritten to shift its focus from regulating technology-enabled fiduciary financial institutions to establishing new tax apportionment rules for various businesses. The original text, which prohibited state agencies from acting as receivers for insolvent financial institutions, has been entirely removed and replaced with a new tax framework.
Scope change
The bill's scope changed from a consumer protection and regulatory statute regarding financial institutions to a tax statute governing how different types of businesses calculate their taxable income in Kansas.
SCOPE

All provisions regarding the prohibition of state agencies becoming receivers for insolvent technology-enabled fiduciary financial institutions were deleted.

New tax apportionment rules were added for railroads, interstate motor carriers, and general taxpayers, specifying how to calculate taxable income based on property, payroll, and sales factors.

ELIGIBILITY

New eligibility criteria were established for 'qualifying taxpayers' who can elect a simplified two-factor apportionment method if their payroll exceeds a specific threshold relative to their property and sales factors.

Special tax rules were added for investment funds service corporations, allowing them to apportion income based on the residency of fund shareholders rather than standard business factors.

DEFINITION

The bill now defines terms related to tax apportionment methods, such as 'qualifying taxpayer' and 'distressed area taxpayer,' replacing the previous definitions of financial institutions and alternative assets.
