Upon receipt of a certified copy of an ordinance or resolution 
authorizing the levy of a local retailers' sales tax, the director of taxation 
shall cause such taxes to be collected within or without the boundaries of 
such taxing subdivision at the same time and in the same manner provided 
for the collection of the state retailers' sales tax. Such copy shall be 
submitted to the director of taxation within 30 days after adoption of any 
such ordinance or resolution. The director of taxation shall confirm that all 
provisions of law applicable to the authorization of local sales tax have 
been followed prior to causing the collection. If the director of taxation 
discovers that a city or county did not comply with any provision of law 
applicable to the authorization of a local sales tax after collection has 
commenced, the director shall immediately notify the city or county and 
cease collection of such sales tax until such noncompliance is remedied. 
All moneys collected by the director of taxation under the provisions of 
this section shall be credited to a county and city retailers' sales tax fund 
which fund is hereby established in the state treasury, except that all 
moneys collected by the director of taxation pursuant to the authority 
granted in K.S.A. 12-187(b)(22), and amendments thereto, shall be 
credited to the Wilson county capital improvements fund. Any refund due 
on any county or city retailers' sales tax collected pursuant to this act shall 
be paid out of the sales tax refund fund and reimbursed by the director of 
taxation from collections of local retailers' sales tax revenue. Except for 
local retailers' sales tax revenue required to be deposited in the 
redevelopment bond fund established under K.S.A. 74-8927, and 
amendments thereto, all local retailers' sales tax revenue collected within 
any county or city pursuant to this act shall be apportioned and remitted at 
least quarterly by the state treasurer, on instruction from the director of 
taxation, to the treasurer of such county or city.
Revenue that is received from the imposition of a local retailers' sales 
tax that exceeds the amount of revenue required to pay the costs of a 
special project for which such revenue was pledged shall be credited to the 
city or county general fund, as the case requires.
The director of taxation shall provide, upon request by a city or county 
clerk or treasurer or finance officer of any city or county levying a local 
retailers' sales tax, monthly reports identifying each retailer doing business 
in such city or county or making taxable sales sourced to such city or 
county, setting forth the tax liability and the amount of such tax remitted 
by each retailer during the preceding month and identifying each business 
location maintained by the retailer and such retailer's sales or use tax 
registration or account number. Such report shall be made available to the 
clerk or treasurer or finance officer of such city or county within a 
reasonable time after it has been requested from the director of taxation. 
The director of taxation shall be allowed to assess a reasonable fee for the

pursuant to this section shall be confidential, and it shall be unlawful for 
any officer or employee of such city or county to divulge any such 
information in any manner. Any violation of this paragraph by a city or 
county officer or employee is a class A misdemeanor, and such officer or 
employee shall be dismissed from office. Reports of violations of this 
paragraph shall be investigated by the attorney general. The district 
attorney or county attorney and the attorney general shall have authority to 
prosecute violations of this paragraph.
Sec. 3. K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 12-192 is hereby amended to read as 
follows: 12-192. (a) Except as otherwise provided by subsection (b), (d) or 
(h), all revenue received by the director of taxation from a countywide 
retailers' sales tax shall be apportioned among the county and each city 
located in such county in the following manner:
(1) 
1
/2 of all revenue received by the director of taxation shall be 
apportioned among the county and each city located in such county in the 
proportion that the total tangible property tax levies made in such county 
in the preceding year for all funds of each such governmental unit bear to 
the total of all such levies made in the preceding year; and
(2) 
1
/2 of all revenue received by the director of taxation from such 
countywide retailers' sales tax shall be apportioned among the county and 
each city located in such county, first to the county that portion of the 
revenue equal to the proportion that the population of the county residing 
in the unincorporated area of the county bears to the total population of the 
county, and second to the cities in the proportion that the population of 
each city bears to the total population of the county, except that no persons 
residing within the Fort Riley military reservation shall be included in the 
determination of the population of any city located within Riley county.
All revenue apportioned to a county shall be paid to its county treasurer 
and shall be credited to the general fund of the county.
(b) (1) In lieu of the apportionment formula provided in subsection 
(a), all revenue received by the director of taxation from a countywide 
retailers' sales tax imposed within Johnson county at the rate of 0.75%, 1% 
or 1.25% after July 1, 2007, shall be apportioned among the county and 
each city located in such county in the following manner:
(A) The revenue received from the first 0.5% rate of tax shall be 
apportioned in the manner prescribed by subsection (a); and
(B) the revenue received from the rate of tax exceeding 0.5% shall be 
apportioned as follows:
(i) 
1

year;
(ii)

/4 shall be apportioned among the county and each city located in 
such county, first to the county that portion of the revenue equal to the 
proportion that the population of the county residing in the unincorporated 
area of the county bears to the total population of the county, and second to 
the cities in the proportion that the population of each city bears to the 
total population of the county; and
(iii) 
1
/2 shall be retained by the county for its sole use and benefit.
(2) In lieu of the apportionment formula provided in subsection (a), 
all money received by the director of taxation from a countywide sales tax 
imposed within Montgomery county pursuant to the election held on 
November 8, 1994, shall be remitted to and shall be retained by the county 
and expended only for the purpose for which the revenue received from 
the tax was pledged. All revenue apportioned and paid from the imposition 
of such tax to the treasurer of any city prior to the effective date of this act 
shall be remitted to the county treasurer and expended only for the purpose 
for which the revenue received from the tax was pledged.
(3) In lieu of the apportionment formula provided in subsection (a), 
on and after the effective date of this act, all moneys received by the 
director of taxation from a countywide retailers' sales tax imposed within 
Phillips county pursuant to the election held on September 20, 2005, shall 
be remitted to and shall be retained by the county and expended only for 
the purpose for which the revenue received from the tax was pledged.
(c) (1) Except as otherwise provided by paragraph (2) of this 
subsection, for purposes of subsections (a) and (b), the term "total tangible 
property tax levies" means the aggregate dollar amount of tax revenue 
derived from ad valorem tax levies applicable to all tangible property 
located within each such city or county. The ad valorem property tax levy 
of any county or city district entity or subdivision shall be included within 
this term if the levy of any such district entity or subdivision is applicable 
to all tangible property located within each such city or county.
(2) For the purposes of subsections (a) and (b), any ad valorem 
property tax levied on property located in a city in Johnson county for the 
purpose of providing fire protection service in such city shall be included 
within the term "total tangible property tax levies" for such city regardless 
of its applicability to all tangible property located within each such city. If 
the tax is levied by a district which extends across city boundaries, for 
purposes of this computation, the amount of such levy shall be apportioned 
among each city in which such district extends in the proportion that such 
tax levied within each city bears to the total tax levied by the district.
(d) (1) All revenue received from a countywide retailers' sales tax 
imposed pursuant to K.S.A. 12-187(b)(2), (3)(C), (3)(F), (3)(G), (3)(I), (6), 
(7), (8), (9), (12), (14), (15), (16), (17), (18), (19), (20), (22), (23), (25),

(27), (28), (29), (30), (31), (32), (33), (34), (35), (36), (37) and, (38) and 
(39), and amendments thereto, shall be remitted to and shall be retained by 
the county and expended only for the purpose for which the revenue 
received from the tax was pledged.
(2) Except as otherwise provided in K.S.A. 12-187(b)(5), and 
amendments thereto, all revenues received from a countywide retailers' 
sales tax imposed pursuant to K.S.A. 12-187(b)(5), and amendments 
thereto, shall be remitted to and shall be retained by the county and 
expended only for the purpose for which the revenue received from the tax 
was pledged.
(3) All revenue received from a countywide retailers' sales tax 
imposed pursuant to K.S.A. 12-187(b)(26), and amendments thereto, shall 
be remitted to and shall be retained by the county and expended only for 
the purpose for which the revenue received from the tax was pledged 
unless the question of imposing a countywide retailers' sales tax authorized 
by K.S.A. 12-187(b)(26), and amendments thereto, includes the 
apportionment of revenue prescribed in subsection (a).
(e) All revenue apportioned to the several cities of the county shall be 
paid to the respective treasurers thereof and deposited in the general fund 
of the city. Whenever the territory of any city is located in two or more 
counties and any one or more of such counties do not levy a countywide 
retailers' sales tax, or whenever such counties do not levy countywide 
retailers' sales taxes at a uniform rate, the revenue received by such city 
from the proceeds of the countywide retailers' sales tax, as an alternative to 
depositing the same in the general fund, may be used for the purpose of 
reducing the tax levies of such city upon the taxable tangible property 
located within the county levying such countywide retailers' sales tax.
(f) Prior to March 1 of each year, the secretary of revenue shall advise 
each county treasurer of the revenue collected in such county from the 
state retailers' sales tax for the preceding calendar year.
(g) Prior to December 31 of each year, the clerk of every county 
imposing a countywide retailers' sales tax shall provide such information 
deemed necessary by the secretary of revenue to apportion and remit 
revenue to the counties and cities pursuant to this section.
(h) The provisions of subsections (a) and (b) for the apportionment of 
countywide retailers' sales tax shall not apply to any revenues received 
pursuant to a county or countywide retailers' sales tax levied or collected 
under K.S.A. 74-8929, and amendments thereto. All such revenue 
collected under K.S.A. 74-8929, and amendments thereto, shall be 
deposited into the redevelopment bond fund established by K.S.A. 74-
8927, and amendments thereto, for the period of time set forth in K.S.A. 
74-8927, and amendments thereto.
