2020 Proposed State Legislative Agenda.
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Summary:
The 2020 proposed legislative program takes a policy level approach to address issues impacting the City of Olathe and local taxpayers. It is established by working with other local entities with similar interests, the City’s lobbyist, legislators and the League of Kansas Municipalities.
The 2020 proposed agenda is similar to 2019 with a focus on issues such as local control and infrastructure. However, the proposed 2020 priority issue is asking the Legislature to adequately address remote sales tax collection and returning tax revenue to local jurisdictions. In addition to traditional sales tax, it includes language addressing revenue from special assessments such as CIDs and TDDs as well as transient guest tax.
