Legislative Alert passed on from Nevada Women’s Lobby:
Assemblywoman Peggy Pierce has four revenue bills heading to hearings.
- AB333: Increases taxes on tobacco and alcohol.
- AB335: Modeled after similar effective laws in other states, this bill would create a services tax, which could generate revenue missing from declined sales.
- AB336: Closes the loophole on outside corporations which don’t pay business taxes. Even with a lower rate than any such tax in surrounding states, this could do a lot to close Nevada’s multi-billion dollar budget deficit.
- AB428: A net proceeds tax on mining. For decades, Nevada’s second largest industry has been able to get away with paying a pittance in taxes. It’s time they paid their fair share.
Show your support by attending hearings, giving testimony and signing your name in support!
AB333 will be heard at 9 am on Tuesday, April 5
AB428 will be heard at 8 am on Thursday, April 7
