Budget Bill Elevates Tax Commission Powers Statewide
Governor Gaulfield signed a budget bill making the state tax commission responsible for prescribing accounting forms for all departments and preparing a governor submission before the General Assembly. Departments must file semiannual receipts and expenditures with the governor. The measure also raises the chairmans salary to 5000 and other commissioners to 4500.

The act also raises the state insurance department actuary salary to 5000 and creates a chief examiner for the department.
