Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly issued a formal proclamation that a special legislative session will begin on Tuesday, after previously announcing the June 18 start date on May 29.
Throughout the year Kelly has threatened the Legislature that she would call a special session if they failed to pass a comprehensive tax plan, but waited to put pen to paper until the Friday before the announced date. The announcement comes just a day after legislative leaders and the governor reached an agreement on a tax bill.
“When legislators return for a special session on Tuesday, I look forward to working with them to swiftly deliver responsible, meaningful tax cuts for all Kansans,” Kelly said. “We are poised to put money back in Kansans’ pockets while maintaining our state’s strong fiscal foundation.”
