As many cities are aware, implementing <strong>HB 1406</strong>, passed in 2019, has been challenging due to some confusing language and unintended consequences. The fix is almost here!
As many cities are aware, implementing HB 1406, passed in 2019, has been challenging due to some confusing language and unintended consequences. The fix is almost here!
HB 2797 intends to amend the law to clear up the confusion and would also extend the time for a city to pass a qualifying local tax. AWC, alongside a coalition of partners, supported amendments that the House made on the floor. That is the version that is now before the Senate.
The bill is still technically in the Ways & Means Committee, so it needs to get out of there and make it to the floor for a vote before session ends on March 12.
Contact your legislators today to get this important piece of legislation across the finish line during the final days!
Cities certainly appreciate that the Legislature passed HB 1406 last session and we also support these proposed changes.
