2014 Bill(s)

SCS HCS HB 1295
Sponsor: Koenig, Andrew
Status: S 3rd Read
Description: Phase in an income tax rate cut each year that state General Revenue tax collections grew by at least $100 million in any one of the prior three years -- eventually lowering the highest rate from 6 percent to 5 percent. Exempt business income from the personal income tax. Legislative staff estimate the provisions ultimately would cost the state $700 million in lost tax revenue for the state. The governor vetoed a similar bill, SB 253, in 2013. This is the voter-approval vehicle if the legislature cannot override this year's veto.
See: 
  • House roll call - HCS HB 1295 (02/20/2014): 3rd reading of a bill to phase in an income tax cut.
  • House roll call - HCS HB 1295 (02/19/2014): Perfection of a bill to phase in a cut in the state income tax rates.
