The Medical Costs Bill

Establishing the shelter to home pet rescue act providing for an income tax credit for medical expenses spent on adopted cats and dogs.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, Kansas would let you claim a tax credit for vet bills on adopted cats and dogs, lowering your tax bill.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Pet lovers could save money on needed vet care, making adoption cheaper and encouraging more rescues. The state would lose some tax revenue, so taxpayers cover the cost.
