Caption

Extending the time period for the single city port authority income tax credit.

Impact

The amendments provided in SB376 will likely have significant implications for state revenue and the financial viability of single city port authorities. By extending the tax credit and broadening its applicability to all taxpayers subject to Kansas income tax, the bill not only supports existing port authorities but may also encourage the establishment of new authorities, fostering regional economic development. However, it is essential to monitor the total limit of credits, which is capped at $500,000 per fiscal year, to prevent any adverse budgetary impacts for the state.

Summary

Senate Bill 376 is designed to extend the time period for a specific income tax credit related to the retirement of indebtedness authorized by single city port authorities in Kansas. The bill amends K.S.A. 2023 Supp. 79-32,212, allowing for an income tax credit equating to 100% of the amount attributable to such retirement for the years 2002 through 2044. This extension indicates an ongoing support for port authorities, providing them with additional financial relief to manage their debts effectively.

Contention

Although the bill has passed overwhelmingly in the Senate with a vote tally of 35 to 5, there may still be discussions regarding the long-term sustainability of income tax credits at this level. Opponents might argue that extending such credits could result in decreased state revenues, impacting funding for other essential services. Proponents, however, emphasize the importance of supporting local economic drivers like port authorities to stimulate growth and job creation in specific regions.
