A bill that would have phased out the reviled business personal property tax over a 40-year period was instead turned into a task force today.
Opponents of the bill worried that counties had no way to make up the lost revenue and the state would be hit with a huge tab to fill in school district budgets.
Sen. Mark Scheffel, R-Parker, said he was disappointed the tax won’t be phased out but relieved discussion on the tax will continue.
The bill was turned into a task force following action this morning in the Senate Appropriations Committee.
