The plan imposes a 0.65 percent utility excise tax for two years from February 1, expected to raise about 1.77 million annually, plus 2.53 million from amusement taxes. The funds would be allocated to counties to match sales tax relief measures. Also, administration allies advanced a bill to create a 10 member state inquiry board, passed as an emergency measure by 3 to 7 with Republican support from Betts, Corr, Frakes, and Marshall, amid broader GOP resistance to the probe.
