Legislature Weighs Heavy Agenda In Final Assembly Week
In the last week of the 46th General Assembly a packed calendar awaits action. The Senate moved quickly from liquor by the drink to a contentious truck and bus regulation bill. A proposed port of entry tax would charge one mill per ton mile, with exemptions for farm, school, and city trucks. The House delayed a tax delinquency bill and rejected a cream and butter fat licensing plan, citing potential harm to small buyers.
