State changes target dealer plates and hydroelectric taxes
A bill ends unlimited dealer plates at $30 each and shifts to business use plates. A Pettit sponsored measure ends a blanket hydro plant property tax exemption, letting governments collect some taxes. Other laws boost school aid to $33 million, set minimum county shares, and cap changes at 15 percent. The package also preserves several state agencies, prioritizes rehiring for corrections staff, and expands insurance and public health provisions.
