Representative Kay Christofferson proposes 0.05% income-tax cut, says it would return about $100 million to taxpayers

Representative Kay Christofferson said she will sponsor a bill to cut the state income tax rate by 0.05%, which she estimated would "cut about a $100,000,000 out of, out of the budget, return that to the citizens for income taxes." The announcement came as she was giving a floor update at the end of week four of the session.

Christofferson framed the proposal in the context of broader budget work, saying a recent tax-cut measure "cost the state about 300,000,000" while adding money back to families. She said the income-tax reduction is intended to return money to taxpayers and reduce government burden, but provided no bill number, effective date, or implementation details during her remarks. No formal vote or legislative action on the measure was recorded in the transcript.
