This bill proposes a change to Kentucky's Constitution that would give the state legislature broader power to exempt certain types of property from taxes or eliminate taxes entirely. Currently, the Constitution limits what property can be exempted from taxation, and this amendment would loosen those limits. If passed by the legislature, Kentucky voters would have the final say on whether to add this change to the state Constitution. Who it may affect: Kentucky voters, property owners, and any individuals or organizations that pay property taxes in the state.
