Rail and utility franchise tax bill advances amid debate
The Tennessee House moved swiftly to adopt two finance committee amendments on the administration franchise tax bill affecting railroads and utilities. Proponents said the amendments would adjust ad valorem assessments and allow lower valuations for certain regulated corporations, with Governor McAlister backing the measures. Speaker Haynes urged immediate floor consideration, noting the proposal could raise about 1.75 million dollars in new revenue, while opponents warned the amendments would unfairly favor large utilities and exempt small corporations. The bill, already backed by Shelby County and approved by the Senate, faces continued debate as it proceeds to further readings.
