Albers Life Insurance Taxation Bill Engrossed in Senate
The Wisconsin senate engrossed the Albers life insurance taxation bill by 18 to 7 this morning after rejecting Northwestern Life Insurance companys substitute. The measure retains current law with premiums paid by Wisconsin policyholders exempt as in other states, while other Wisconsin insurers assets remain taxable. The bill would cut Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company taxes by about 100000 dollars annually. A separate vote failed 15 to 10 on a Tomkins forest lands amendment, blocking forestry reserve development due to lack of state power per a recent supreme court ruling.
