Senate committee backs disallowance bill with wary vote
The Senate Ways and Means Committee voted 6 to 5 to send Gov. Robert Docking’s corporate disallowance bill to the Senate floor without recommendation. The panel first struck an amendment limiting the measure to one year. The bill would block corporations from deducting federal income taxes on state returns, yielding about $25 million annually. It originally passed for calendar year 1972.

Docking Vetos Three Bills In Topeka Action

Robert Docking vetoed three measures in Topeka, including a Johnson County property tax hike for county fair land purchases and a bill transferring statehouse parking control from the executive to the Legislative Coordinating Council. He warned the move would set a harmful precedent and intrude on executive powers. The third veto blocked a requirement for the Board of Health to consider demographic and geographic differences when formulating solid waste rules.
