Senator Kurt presented Senate Bill 13 02 seeking to repeal a triggered provision that would put state income taxes "on a path to 0." She said the repeal is intended to protect future fiscal stability, citing "nine revenue failures in the last 25 years" and previous instances where trigger bills had to be overturned.
Senator Jett framed the bill as effectively undoing prior work toward taxpayer relief; Senator Kurt countered that the trigger ties the hands of future legislatures without guarantees on fiscal stability. Members debated whether the trigger was a responsible mechanism given recent federal relief and revenue volatility.
After limited questions and no extended amendments, the committee recorded a roll call resulting in 2 ayes and 9 nays; the chair declared the bill not passed in committee.
