Revenue Bill Boosts State Income With Insurance Tax Hike
The House session hears plans to pass amendments to the general tax act. The tax committee led by Arnold targets $400,000 more revenue by doubling the premium tax on insurance from 1% to 2%, while banning municipalities from taxing premiums.

The package also expands license taxes on moving picture houses and adds 1 per 1,000 over 10,000 on building contracts, plus new special tax agents to enforce compliance.
