Taxation committee approves introductions for residency bill and American Beer Act
Summary
The Committee on Taxation approved requests to introduce RS 31 55, a residency requirement for board members setting mill levies, and the "American Beer Act" introduced by Anheuser-Busch; both introductions were approved with no objections recorded.
The Committee on Taxation approved two bill introductions at the start of its session.
An unidentified representative introduced RS 31 55, which the speaker described as "a bill requiring every member of a board with an attacking authority to reside within the area where they are setting the mill levy." The chair asked for objections and, seeing none, approved the request.
Adam Kasda, state government affairs director for Anheuser-Busch, introduced the American Beer Act (RS 29 98), calling it "an American jobs bill" and saying he looked forward to discussing its economic impact. After a brief exchange about samples, the committee approved that introduction as well.
Both requests were approved without objection; the committee then moved on to a hearing on House Bill 24-69.
