Bill fails to limit valuation on registered bulls
In Lincoln Nebraska the Legislature’s Revenue Committee killed a bill to cap valuations of registered herd bulls for tax purposes by a 7 to 1 vote. The measure would set bulls at 15 times the value of other bulls, but was sent to an interim study. Support came from the Nebraska Stock Growers Association, while opposition came from county officials. The committee referred LB382 on rural water district sales tax relief, with advocates citing substantial tax costs for districts in Johnson and Grove counties.
