Sales and use tax flexibility bill continues to roll through the Legislature

Contact: Victoria Lincoln

HB 2006 continues to move through the legislative process. The bill passed a major milestone on February 14 being passed out of the house on a vote of 92-6. The Senate Committee on Local Government is scheduled to take up the bill at 1:30 pm on Tuesday, February 20.

Cities would see increased flexibility with the removal of the supplanting clause for the 0.1 percent voter-approved mental health sales and use tax. The striking bills moved the Veterans’ and Mental Health Levies outside of the general levy.

AWC supports this bill. There is still work to be done to push this bill across the finish line.
