The Senate defeated a proposal to exempt tangible property from a tax article and drew a floor for taxation of such items. The body left open whether intangible property over or under 25 000 would be taxed at 1 percent, with a target 50 000 possible. The measure may go to voters in 1976. The panel also tentatively approved oil exploration rules off the South Carolina coast and stiff penalties for food stamp fraud including grocer disqualification.
