Lawmakers face eight sales tax proposals and many revenue bills as they decide which to fold into the general revenue act. The MacLean bill aims to fund six months of school without property taxes, forcing finance committees to seek $18,000,000. Appropriations requests rise across departments, with universities pushing higher sums. Roads committees grapple with truck and trailer rules, patrol powers, and a statewide drivers license, including a ban proposal and a larger force. A two year license plan is proposed with a $1 fee administered by sheriff or peace officer upon affidavit.
