Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Fewer permit barriers for Kansas rental hosts

From May 15 through July 25, 2026, Kansas local governments cannot cap short-term rental permits or rental length. This covers short-term rentals and vacation properties offered as lodging during any part of that period. Local governments must process complete applications and respond within 15 calendar days after submission. Without a timely response, the application counts as approved. Local governments cannot add rules or code requirements as conditions of that automatic approval.

Longer World Cup hours for alcohol sellers

From June 11 through July 19, 2026, qualifying Kansas alcohol sellers can use longer hours where local governments opt in. Sales are allowed from 6:00 a.m. until 5:00 a.m. the next day, with other sales rules still applying. Cities must approve an ordinance; county boards must approve a resolution covering unincorporated areas. The clerk must send a copy to the Director of Alcoholic Beverage Control. This authority expires July 20, 2026.

More Kansas lodging stays face guest taxes

Kansas expands who counts as a transient guest for lodging taxes from May 15 through July 25, 2026. Covered stays include hotel, motel, and tourist court rooms, plus rooms, whole homes, and parts of homes offered as lodging. The rule covers stays overlapping any part of that period. Permanent guests and guests with contracts exceeding 28 consecutive days intended for long-term or permanent occupancy are excluded. Covered stays can face existing guest taxes; this law sets no new tax rate or amount.
