MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR

House Bill No. 2532

An Act concerning gaming; relating to parimutuel racing; concerning distribution of the tax on amounts wagered on historic horse races; amending K.S.A. 2023 Supp. 74-8823 and repealing the existing section.

Message to the Legislature of the State of Kansas:

This bill would inadvertently cause a tax increase on the currently approved historical horse racing facility in Wichita. While I support the underlying goal of this legislation, I believe a trailer bill is necessary to ensure that this inadvertent tax increase does not occur.

Therefore, under Article 2, Section 14(a) of the Constitution, I hereby veto House Bill 2532.

Laura Kelly, Governor

Dated April 19, 2024.
