February 24, 2020 Group Watch: Bill Restricting Occupational Taxes Advances
A bill to require cities to get approval from the legislature before passing new occupational taxes or license taxes moved a step closer to passing, despite opposition from the mayors of the state’s 10 largest cities. The Senate Governmental Affairs Committee approved a bill by Rep. Chris Sells, which has already passed the House. The committee vote puts the bill in line for consideration by the Senate as early as next week.
