North Dakota governor's income tax relief proposal advances
Tax relief proposals advanced Tuesday in North Dakota's House and Senate, adding more bills outside the main scope of the Legislature's special session.
Rep. Pat Heinert, R-Bismarck, asked the House to advance for introduction a bill mirroring Gov. Doug Burgum's proposal for two-year income tax relief of up to $500 per resident taxpayer using $207 million from a state budget surplus.
The House approved, 83-7.
"I am hopeful that people will utilize these funds to maybe save some money, maybe help someone else out with a donation, maybe purchase a needed item for their own household, or just maybe take their family out for a good meal," Heinert said.
Governor's spokesman Mike Nowatzki confirmed the bill is essentially the governor's proposal.
