Dear Representative Smith: 
 
 SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2366 by Representative V. Miller, et al. 
 
 In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2366 is 
respectfully submitted to your committee. 
 
 HB 2366 would transfer a total of $108.0 million from the State General Fund to the Local 
Ad Valorem Tax Reduction Fund (LAVTRF) in FY 2024, FY 2025, FY 2026, and FY 2027.  The 
bill would transfer a total $54.0 million from the State General Fund to the LAVTRF beginning in 
FY 2028 and in each future fiscal year.  Under current law, the State General Fund transfer to the 
LAVTRF is set to resume in FY 2025 with a total transfer amount of $54.0 million.

 HB 2366 would reduce State General Fund revenues by $108.0 million in FY 2024 by 
resuming the State General Fund transfer to the LAVTRF.  The last State General Fund transfer to 
the LAVTRF occurred in FY 2003 and transfers have routinely been suspended in appropriations 
bills.  The fiscal effect to state revenues during subsequent years would be as follows: 
 
 	FY 2025 FY 2026 FY 2027 FY 2028 
State General Fund ($108,000,000) ($108,000,000) ($108,000,000) ($54,000,000)

The Department of Revenue’s Property Valuation Division would be required to calculate 
and report current assessed values and distribution, as well as update related documents. The 
Department indicates that these costs are estimated to be negligible and could be absorbed within 
existing resources. 
 
The State Treasurer indicates the bill would require it to implement minor computer 
programming changes in order to apportion and pay amounts to counties based on population and 
assessed valuation.  The State Treasurer indicates that the programming costs are estimated to be 
negligible and could be absorbed within existing resources.  The amounts transferred to the 
LAVTRF would also be required to be included as expenditures in the State Treasurer’s budget 
beginning in FY 2024. Any fiscal effect associated with HB 2366 is not reflected in The FY 2024 
Governor’s Budget Report. 
  
The League of Kansas Municipalities and the Kansas Association of Counties indicate that 
the bill would provide additional resources to local governments for property tax relief.  
 
 
 
 
 	Sincerely,

 	Director of the Budget
