Chamber’s job tax credit bill killed

The Senate Local Government & Taxation Committee has killed HB 126, the job tax credit bill proposed by the Idaho Chamber Alliance, amid concerns about how the bill would work and its potential fiscal impact. After two days of hearings, finishing up today, the committee deadlocked 4-4 on the bill, and Chairman Joe Stegner, R-Lewiston, cast the tie-breaking vote to kill the measure. It had earlier passed the House on a 64-3 vote.
