Here’s a news item from the Associated Press: BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho lawmaker is pushing legislation that would exempt free medical clinics from paying sales tax. The Times-News (http://bit.ly/2kxzYqf ) reports that the House Revenue and Taxation Committee approved Republican Rep. Clark Kauffman's proposal on Thursday. The bill now heads to the full House for a vote; to become law it must pass both there and in the Senate and receive the governor’s signature. Kauffman, from Filer, says Idaho currently has 10 free clinics registered with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. Those clinics provided medical services to an estimated 18,000 people who were at or below the poverty level in 2016.
