KANSAS HOUSE ON FRIDAY OVERRIDES GOV. LAURA KELLY’S VETO OF TAX BILL

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - The Kansas House of Representatives on Friday morning
voted to override Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto of a tax bill.

The vote was 104-15.

Following Friday’s bipartisan vote, a joint statement was issued by House
Speaker Dan Hawkins, R-Wichita; Majority Leader Chris Croft, R-Overland Park;
and Speaker Pro Tempore Blake Carpenter, R-Derby.

“Kansans need tax relief and revenue estimates tell us it’s time to make that
happen,” the statement read. “With this significant, bipartisan vote of 104 to
15 to override the Governor’s misguided veto, we’re closer than ever to
delivering broad and sustainable property, income, Social Security, and food
sales tax relief to all Kansans.



“I want to thank our Democratic colleagues for working with us and Tax Chair
Smith in an overwhelming bipartisan fashion. It’s truly remarkable what we can
accomplish for the people of our state when we work together.”

Rep. Adam Smith, R-Weskan, is chairman of the Kansas House taxation committee.

Also on Friday at the Statehouse, the Kansas Senate fell short in an effort to
force floor debates on Medicaid expansion and medical marijuana.

• The vote was 18-17 on a motion that would have pulled the Medicaid expansion
bill out of committee and onto the floor for debate. A total of at least 24
votes were needed to force the floor vote.



• The Senate also fell short on a similar effort to force debate on a bill
legalizing medical marijuana. That vote failed by a vote of 12 to 25.

WIBW-TV’s Callie Holthaus is at the Statehouse and will have more on these
developments later Friday.
