01 May 2021

Regular legislative session through May 1, 2021

From here on out, the only new bills are old bills, substitutes. This provokes another bad bill, HB 699 as a substitute for HB 524 (see below).

Also, HB 292 and HB 293 have been dropped from the list of good bills and instead join the list of bad bills. They are intended to create a flat rate for corporate income taxation and eliminate the federal tax deduction for corporations. However, in current form they produce a substantial net tax increase (see below).
