Silas's Bills in the Kansas Senate

July 8, 2026

Here's what I'm carrying and backing in the Kansas Senate. Not press releases -- bills with numbers you can look up yourself.

Cutting Taxes on the Basics

SB 389 -- eliminates the sales tax on diapers, feminine hygiene products, and incontinence products. Missouri already exempts all three. I'm a co-sponsor, and I'm pushing the committee chair to give it a hearing.

SB 488 -- the Kansas Property Tax Freedom Act of 2026. Property taxes are the number one thing I hear about at the door, and this is the kind of big swing that forces Topeka to take the conversation seriously.

Taking On the Prescription Middlemen

SB 360 -- the Kansas Consumer Prescription Protection and Accountability Act. Pharmacy benefit managers pocket the spread between what insurers pay and what pharmacies get, and your drug prices go up. This bipartisan bill makes PBMs register with the state, pass rebates to patients, and bans spread pricing. The Senate already passed it.

Protecting Students

SB 424 -- the Student Secular Bill of Rights. I'm the sponsor.

Kansas Still Taxes Your Diapers

By Silas Miller • March 25, 2026
Missouri did it. Texas did it. More than 20 states have done it. Kansas still charges full sales tax on diapers, feminine hygiene products, and incontinence supplies. Senate Bill 389 and House Bill 2073 would end that. Simple bills. Bipartisan support among voters. And yet - neither bill has even gotten a hearing in the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee. This isn't a culture war issue. It's a math issue. A family with an infant spends $80-100 a month on diapers. The state is taxing that at the same rate as a TV. That's wrong, and Kansas families know it. I'm a cosponsor of SB 389. I'm pushing the committee chair to schedule a hearing. If you agree this is overdue, call your senator and tell them.
