Senate Bill 821: Revise 2012 “personal property tax” reform law
Introduced by Sen. Jack Brandenburg (R) on February 25, 2014, to revise details of the device called the “metropolitan authority” that was created by a 2012 legislative package enacted to distribute some state use tax revenue to local governments, as a replacement for revenue they lose due to reductions in the “personal property tax.” This is a property tax imposed on business tools and equipment. The bill is part of a package comprised of Senate Bills 821 to 830, which essentially replace all of the foregone local government revenue from that 2012 personal property tax cut package, instead of replacing most of it. For any of this to happen voters must approve related changes to the state “use tax” in an August, 2014 ballot initiative; this legislative package was negotiated to forestall local government opposition to that measure.

Introduced by Rep. Joseph Haveman (R) on February 27, 2014, to appropriate $36.452 billion in non-education state spending in the fiscal year that begins on Oct. 1, 2014, compared to $34.392 billion enacted the previous year. (Both figures are the overall “gross” spending amount generally cited in news reports; the new proposal nets-out to $35.622 billion “adjusted gross” when inter-department transfers are accounted for.) Some $19.100 billion of this will come from federal government. The total executive budget recommendation including education is $52.425 billion gross, of which $21.006 is federal money.
