Kentucky's bill to lower the state's individual income tax has been signed into law. The Senate took up the bill Tuesday, the first day that lawmakers reconvened since the January break. Republicans have supermajorities in both chambers.

Final passage came on a 34-3 Senate vote to lower the tax to 3.5% from 4% at the start of 2026. The bill goes to Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear, who has said he supports the tax cut. It continues a downward trend in the personal income tax rate since the GOP gained full control of the legislature in 2017.

Some Democrats voted with Republicans Tuesday to pass a half-a-percent cut to Kentuckians’ individual income tax rate.

Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear signs another GOP-enacted income tax cut, saying“things cost too much for our families” despite a “booming economy.”
