The Kansas Chamber has released its 2025 Legislative and Policy Agenda, laying out its priorities for the upcoming legislative session. The Comprehensive Plan focuses on addressing challenges and opportunities to the Kansas business community, from taxes to workforce. There are five priorities the chamber mentions.
First, reducing personal and corporate income taxes, then, second, adopting a single factor apportionment for corporate income taxpayers. Thirdly, adapt legal reform by improving the state’s legal environment to lower insurance premiums and enhance overall economic competitiveness. Fourth, advocating for the adoption of health care compacts to streamline licensing reciprocity for healthcare professionals, which would help address workforce shortages and improve access to care. Finally, lowering energy costs by tackling high electricity rates that disproportionately affect commercial customers, particularly manufacturers, to protect ratepayers and bolster economic growth.
