State Lawmaker Proposes Constitutional Amendment Limiting Tax Options
A Kalispell Republican has revived an effort to amend Montana’s Constitution in an attempt to fundamentally change the state’s tax code. Critics say the proposed policy is confusing and could leave a massive hole in the state budget.
Rep. Derek Skees says House Bill 261 is meant to protect taxpayers. It would amend Montana’s Constitution to say the state can only put in place three types of taxes: income, property and sales. It would also limit the state by requiring that only two of those taxes be in place at any time.
