Pryor’s Home Rule Tax Bill Shrugs Local Sales Tax Hope
In Arkansas the Pryor home rule bill faced a key House committee vote with opponents pushing to remove any local sales tax option. A late amendment to exclude sales taxes was debated, then passed by a comfortable margin, sending the measure to committee as supporters hope to revive support in the House. The session also paused a separate bill granting broader powers to the state attorney general.

The Arkansas House defeated a proposed 25 percent hike in vehicle license fees aimed at raising about 8.4 million dollars for the Highway Department. Supporters argued it was the fairest way to fund needed road repairs while opponents, led by trucking lobbyists, lobbied against the plan citing impacts on industry and winter road damage.
