2024 was a busy year for the Kansas Legislature as lawmakers were called back to Topeka in June for a special session in order to craft a tax reform bill that Governor Laura Kelly would be willing to sign.

 

 State Representative Ron Bryce says we are living through historic times at both the local and national levels.

 

The state legislature convenes for its regular session from January through early May. Bryce says legislators remain at work when the session is out, getting ready for next year. Bryce says, despite the tax plan passed in the summer special session, tax relief is still a big issue for Kansans.

 

Bryce says one of his priorities for the 2025 session will be property taxes.

 

Another issue up for discussion in 2025 and is currently in committee deals with dentists who use sedation and anesthesia. The Kansas Legislature will convene for its new session on January 13, 2025.
