SUMMARY: The Senate approved a tax cut plan that reduces state income tax and grocery sales tax, while slightly increasing the gasoline tax, passing 34-15 with some bipartisan support. The net tax cut is $326 million, less than the House’s $1.1 billion proposal aimed at eliminating the income tax over a decade. The Senate plan lowers income tax from 4% to 2.99% and grocery tax from 7% to 5% by July 2025, while raising the gas tax by 3 cents yearly for infrastructure funding. Negotiations between the GOP-majority Senate and House will determine a final compromise before the March 31 deadline.
