Committee advances bill allowing metros to reduce grocery tax rate
Summary
Leader Lambert said House Bill 2186 would let counties with metropolitan forms of government reduce a grocery tax rate and remove unnecessary code language; the committee advanced the bill 24–3.
Leader Lambert presented House Bill 2186, which sponsors said would apply to counties with metropolitan forms of government and would allow metropolitan governments to reduce a grocery tax rate (the sponsor described a "top 0.5" provision) while eliminating obsolete code language. Committee members asked whether the bill applied only to the two existing metropolitan governments or whether it would also apply to future consolidated governments; Lambert and the sponsor confirmed it applies to any county with a metropolitan form.
After discussion the committee called the question and advanced the bill to Calendar and Rules with a recorded tally of 24 ayes and 3 noes. The transcript does not record a named mover or seconder for the motion to advance.
