Henderson’s aircraft parts bill heads to governor’s desk

HB 417, Rep. Frank Henderson’s sales tax break bill for aircraft parts installed into out-of-state aircraft - which Henderson, based on his research, says will generate dozens of high-paying aircraft technician jobs around the state at Idaho businesses - has passed the Senate on a 33-0 vote and now heads to the governor’s desk. The bill, which includes a five-year expiration to allow lawmakers to review its effectiveness, is the first sales tax break to clear the Senate tax committee in at least four years.
