Bank Legislation Moves In Assembly On Monday Night
Nashville March 6. Broad powers enabling the governor to act promptly in banking emergencies are provided in a bill ready for third reading in both houses. The proposal would let the governor declare a bank holiday during emergencies with optional participation for banks, and authorizes the bank superintendent to set operating rules for banks open on a restricted basis during such holidays. The session also considers reducing automobile and truck licenses and changes to truck tonnage taxation, with Senate amendments proposing a 37.5 cents per horsepower levy and tax cuts for passenger cars. The house had cut auto license fees in half and shifted truck tonnage bases, but senators say it could mean higher overall truck fees under certain provisions. The finance committee's general appropriation bill remains to be acted on as the legislature reconvenes tonight. The senate will limit tonight’s session to local bills, delaying bank and auto tax measures until tomorrow.
