EMPLOYMENT & TAXES
New Legislation: This week, Senate Bill 1161 ([link removed]) , introduced by Senator Jim Guthri ([link removed]) e (R-McCammon), was referred to the Senate Commerce and Human Resources Committee ([link removed]) and sent to be amended. This bill would add regulation to the system of apprenticeships for electricians. The system would designate one journeyman electrician to every two apprentices.

New Legislation: Senate Bill 1170 ([link removed]) , sponsored by Senator Jim Rice ([link removed]) (R-Caldwell), was introduced into the Senate Local Government and Taxation Committee ([link removed]) this week. This bill is a trailer bill for SB.1108aa ([link removed]) . If passed, SB.1170 would provide that current year assessed values will be used to determine the levy rate for new construction and annexation but allows the previous year’s valuation to be used for centrally assessed operating property. This is intended to provide relief from increasing property tax.
