Legislation Proposes 4.5 Del Pro Cent Sales Tax Plan
The proposal, introduced by Draper, would create a 4.5 percent state and county sales tax aimed at reducing property taxes and funding schools and roads. If enacted, it could generate about 500,000 in annual revenue, dissolving many local taxes and shifting burden to sales tax. The plan seeks state control of county road funding and to replace gas tax revenue with a general fund transfer. The report notes debates on constitutional amendments widening anti-propaganda and immigration restrictions and mail restrictions on materials from organizations promoting extremist doctrines.
