HB 524 Passed! Insurance Premium Tax Reform is on the way!

This legislation has passed and will finally impose a two-year statute of limitation on refund requests for IPTs! A risk location system is being established so the correct tax district can be identified by insurance companies in the first place. Part of the cooperation on this legislation from insurance companies resulted from the hold harmless agreement for the companies using an approved risk location system. There is still a way to go before all the changes are implemented but this is going to be a tremendous help for cities. KMCA President Sandy Doane worked tirelessly on this effort along with representatives from the KLC, KCCMA and folks from the insurance industry. Give Sandy a big pat on the back when you see her!  And C.R. Wirthlin also attended these meetings and helped keep the clerks informed of the progress. Tremendous thanks to Steve Riggs (D-Louisville) for sponsoring the bill. Thanks to all the clerks who contributed – way back when we first answered the survey from Ken Thompson that was the first step to help to identify the problems and outline the solutions. And thanks to Mr. Thompson, too, who kept his word appearing before our membership several times to keep us updated as his work progressed. Thanks to Susan Lamb for getting those calls for action out to the membership and THANKS TO ALL THE CLERKS WHO CALLED YOUR LEGISLATORS – our voices were heard and change is coming!   For details and a great overview of the changes, click here to view the KLC Fact Sheet on HB 524.
