Legislature may look to reorganize state Tax Commission

Mentioning issues that will come up in this year’s Legislature, Senate President Pro-Tem Brent Hill said, “You might see some changes in the state Tax Commission and how it’s organized.” Hill said he didn’t think that would come as a surprise to anyone.

Other issues mentioned by legislative leaders: Changes in the state’s tobacco tax; changes in the violent sex offender registry to meet new requirements; urban renewal; wolves; states’ rights; Medicaid; and jobs. There’s also been discussion about possible immigration legislation.
