Proposals

Governor Discusses Legislative Agenda, Medicaid Waiver, and Redistricting

Gov. Asa Hutchinson anticipates a lot of negotiation over taxes in the upcoming legislative session.

With an expected $240 million surplus, Hutchinson has laid out proposals to:

  • Reduce the top individual income tax rate for new residents to 4.9% for five years. Doing so would attract tech and manufacturing talent and retirees, he said.

  • Lower the sales tax on used vehicles from 6.5% to 3.5% for those with sale prices between $4,000 and $10,000. There is no tax for cars sold for less than $4,000.

  • Place $100 million in the state’s long-term reserve account.
