Statewide and local transfer tax changes face questions of proper introduction under the governor’s call. Senate leaders and the Attorney General’s Office ruled the four bills, part of Underwood’s program to fund public works and unemployment relief, appear reasonably germane and may be introduced without a two thirds vote. The measures would keep a 3 percent insurance premium tax, raise the annuities tax to 3 percent, and lift pari mutual betting tax at horse tracks under the State Racing Commission.
