SB 72: AN ACT ELIMINATING STATE TAXES OR FEES FOR WHICH COLLECTION COSTS EXCEED THE REVENUE RECEIVED.

SB 72 would eliminate state taxes or fees where the cost to collect them exceeds the revenue they generate.

The bill’s key mechanism requires automatic removal of such taxes/fees from state statutes through statutory amendment. It does not target specific existing taxes but establishes a general rule for eliminating inefficient revenue streams.

SB 43: AN ACT CONCERNING THE TAX CREDIT FOR MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT.

SB 43 replaces Connecticut's existing machinery and equipment tax credit with a new 50% credit for corporations spending on such equipment installed in state facilities.

The bill requires equipment to be used in the facility for at least five years, and corporations must repay the full credit amount if this minimum use period is not met.
