## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

Revenue neutral rate hearing notices must show tax rates in mills, including the rate used to estimate proposed taxes. They must also total the required tax columns. Notices m…

Clerks must notify the Kansas Secretary of Revenue and document the costs. Payments come from the taxpayer notification costs fund, which receives state general fun…
