The Highway Fund Bill
Kansas lowers tax on prepared food, boosts highway fund share
Decreasing the state rate for sales and use taxes for prepared food and increasing the percent credited to the state highway fund from sales and use tax revenue collected.
Good for everyday people ·
The bill would cut the sales tax on take‑out meals, making them cheaper, and send a larger slice of the tax money to the state highway fund.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, families will pay less when they buy ready‑made meals, but the state will keep more of the tax to fix roads, so drivers may see better highways later.
