Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has signed bipartisan legislation that will “Axe the Food Tax” eliminating the state sales tax on groceries.  This will provide Kansans with much-needed financial relief, especially as costs continue to rise. House Bill 2106 will completely eliminate the food sales tax by 2025.

Governor Kelly says when Kansans needed it most, they were able to bring both parties together to eliminate the state’s tax on groceries. She says because they saved for their collective future, they can now responsibly eliminate tax on groceries, while still boosting funding to Kansas schools, roads, and law enforcement.  Passing HB 2106 will help Kansans save money, keep Kansas dollars in Kansas, and make the state more competitive with its neighbors.
