Speakers:

The House Ways and Means Committee heard two separate measures: House Joint Resolution 169, a proposed 'Taxpayer Protection Act' modeled on Colorado's TABOR, and House Bill 2379, an option allowing counties to dedicate a local sales tax (with voter approval) to early childhood services administered by local children's services funds. Committee members questioned legal mechanics, refund and emergency exceptions, and how local governance, licensing and transparency would work for childcare funding.
