The Kansas House and Senate passed the tax plan unveiled by Republican leaders Tuesday, January 16th. The Senate passed House Bill 2284 with a 25-11 vote. The legislation includes a flat tax rate on income and reductions or complete elimination of taxes on property, social security, and food sales.
