2008 General Assembly
Legislative Update |
Tax Reform: The Chamber supports a tax policy that creates a fair, pro-business tax climate and respects the importance of local control and accountability for raising and spending our tax dollars.
Specific bills:
SR 686: Senate Passed February 12 (Freeze Ad Valorem Tax values of existing residential property)
SR 796: Senate Passed February 12 (Freeze valuation of real property, except certain adjustments)
HB 979: Scheduled for Tax Reform Subcommittee February 14
HR 1246: Scheduled for Tax Reform Subcommittee February 14
Sales Tax Exemption on Energy for Manufacturing: The Chamber supports an exemption with respect to State (not local) sales and use tax for the cost of energy (natural or artificial gas, electricity, or any other energy) used directly in the production of manufactured goods.
Specific bill:
HB 272: Introduced to State Sales Tax Subcommittee February 13
Renewal of Sales Tax Holiday: The Chamber supports a sales tax holiday at the beginning of the school year that would exempt sales tax on back-to-school items. The exemption would last least four days, with consideration of extending the duration and moving the exemption to July. An additional sales tax holiday would exempt tax on energy efficient products for at least four days in 2008.
Specific bill:
HB 948: Introduced to the State Sales Tax Subcommittee for February 14
