Governor Vetoes, Legislature Overrides Health Tax Bill
Veto (March 27, 2026) – Late yesterday, Governor Laura Kelly vetoed Senate Bill 368. The legislation enacts the Health Care Sharing Ministries Tax Deduction Act to provide a subtraction modification for qualified health care sharing expenses paid by a qualified individual and certain qualified health care shares received by a qualified individual. The Senate and House quickly took up the motion to override the governor's veto, which passed the Senate 30-9 and the House 87-37. The bill will now go to the Secretary of State and will take effect upon publication of the Statute Book.
