Area Officials Visit Capitol, Support Bill

The Unicameral’s Revenue Committee heard testimony March 16 from Kimball city and county officials in support of Legislature Bill 100.

LB 100 was introduced by Sen. Steve Erdman, District 47, who used to represent the Kimball area. The bill would amend the ImagiNE Act to allow certain waste treatment and disposal businesses to qualify for tax incentives.

Qualifying businesses receive credits based on construction and the number of employees hired. Other available incentives include sales/use tax direct refunds and exemptions and personal property tax exemptions.

Kimball Mayor John Morrison, county Commissioner Rich Flores, city Councilwoman Christy Warner, and Paul Whiting of Clean Harbors Inc. testified in support of LB100.
