Dear Concerned Taxpayer,

Our goal in producing this “Taxpayer Scorecard” is to promote ideas of economic freedom that will lead to greater prosperity for all citizens. Establishing an assessment of legislators’ performance and educating citizens, we hope to make a difference for future generations and protect these freedoms we hold so dear.

In order to have accountability, we must have an engaged citizenry. Thank you for being involved in the legislative process and taking time to better understand the issues. Together, we’ll move Indiana forward!

Best,

facilities that undergo a change of ownership for certain purposes. Limits small house facilities to 100 new licensed or Medicaid certified comprehensive care beds per year.

AFP POSITION: OPPOSE

REASON: SB 460 effectively creates a state moratorium on the construction of new nursing home facilities for seniors. This represents an unwise intrusion of government into the free market and unfairly restricts the choices available to seniors when it comes to obtaining nursing home care. This legislation would contribute to a more captive market by insulating those already in the nursing home market from potential rivals, and the market forces that come along with increased competition.

STATUS: Passed Senate 36-12; Passed House 52-40; Became Law without Signature

PROTECTING TAXPAYERSHOUSE BILLSHB 1019: COMMON CONSTRUCTION WAGESUMMARY: Repeals the common construction wage statute. Repeals related statutes superseded by the repeal of the common construction wage statute. Makes conforming amendments.

AFP POSITION: SUPPORT

REASON: AFP Indiana supports efforts to make taxpayer-funded infrastructure projects more affordable and eliminate market-distorting wage laws that increase labor costs beyond market-based levels. This bill will save significant taxpayer dollars, allowing that money to be invested more directly into projects from which they stand to benefit.

STATUS: Passed House 54-40; Passed Senate 27-22; Signed by

Governor

SB 113: DIRECT WINE SALES

SUMMARY: Removes certain requirements for the issuance of a direct wine seller’s permit concerning: (1) filing of surety bonds or depositing cash in escrow; and (2) wine distribution through wholesalers. Removes requirements that before a direct wine seller may sell wine to a consumer: (1) the consumer must provide information in one face-to-face transaction at the seller’s place of business; or (2) under certain circumstances, the consumer must provide a verified statement that the consumer is at least 21 years of age, and the seller must provide the name and address of the consumer to the alcohol and tobacco commission. Allows a direct wine seller to sell and ship wine directly to a consumer if the consumer provides: (1) the consumer’s name; (2) a valid delivery address and telephone number; (3) proof of age by a state government issued or federal government issued identification card showing the consumer to be at least 21 years of age; and (4) a verified statement that the consumer satisfies certain requirements.

AFP POSITION: SUPPORT

REASON: Removes burdensome and unnecessary regulations on direct wine sellers. This allows direct wine sellers to directly sell to consumers cutting costs and increasing consumer choice.

STATUS: Passed Senate; Referred to House

HB 1044: ROCKVILLE FOOD AND BEVERAGE TAXSUMMARY: Authorizes the town of Rockville to adopt a town food and beverage tax. Provides that the tax rate may not exceed 1%. Specifies the purposes for which the food and beverage tax may be used.

AFP POSITION: OPPOSE

REASON: AFP Indiana opposes efforts to increase the burden of government on our state’s families. Rockville residents already pay enough in taxes to fund the essential services of local government. Instead of asking taxpayers for more, Rockville should seek to reform and cut spending. Food and beverage taxes are unnecessary and regressive, and the legislature should not permit them in Rockville.

STATUS: Passed House 51-44; Passed Senate 35-13; Became Law

HB 1142: TAX ISSUESSUMMARY: Specifies that the legislative services agency (rather than the commission on state tax and financing policy or its successor committee, under current law) shall before October 1 of each year conduct the review, analysis, and evaluation of all tax incentives under House Enrolled Act 1020-2014, according to a schedule developed by the legislative services agency. Requires the legislative services agency to submit the results of the review, analysis, and evaluation to the legislative council and the interim study committee on fiscal policy. Requires the interim study committee on fiscal policy to hold an annual public hearing after September 30 and before November 1 of each year at which: (1) the legislative services agency presents its review, analysis, and evaluation of tax incentives; and (2) the interim study committee receives information concerning tax incentives.

Repeals the home insulation deduction and the solar powered roof vent and fan deduction.

Removes the prohibition that certain funds distributed to the horsemen’s association cannot be used for lobbying purposes. Changes the appointment process for members of breed development advisory committees and the process to appoint new members. Changes the distribution of funds to promote horses and horse racing.

AFP POSITION: OPPOSE

REASON: The state of Indiana should not be in the business of subsidizing the horse racing industry. Moreover, dollars collected for the promotion of horse racing should never be used for lobbying purposes.

STATUS: Passed House 71-21; Passed Senate 38-12; Vetoed by Governor

AMERICANSFORPROSPERITY.ORG

County. Requires the metropolitan development commission to establish a tax area before July 1, 2017, according to the procedures for the establishment of an economic development area. Authorizes capital improvements to be made. Provides that the APSDA may include the site or future site of a facility or complex of facilities that includes a hotel, a multipurpose stadium, and a facility used to manage and operate the professional team that would use the stadium. Requires participation in contracts for all capital improvements by minority, women and veteran owned business enterprises. Permits the adoption of a 10% Marion County admissions tax rate for any event held in the APSDA.

Requires the owner of a professional soccer franchise that would be the primary tenant of the facility or complex of facilities constructed in the tax area, the professional soccer franchise, or the professional soccer league in which the professional soccer franchise competes (or any combination of these) to guarantee at least 50% of the amount that is financed for the facility or complex of facilities that includes a soccer stadium. Provides that if the capital improvement board, the county convention and recreational facilities authority, and one more sublessees have entered into an agreement concerning a capital improvement in the APSDA: (1) the metropolitan development commission shall expand a tax increment financing allocation area in Marion County; and (2) subject to the policies and guidelines governing the metropolitan development commission, deposit at least $10,000,000 from property taxes allocated to the commission into a neighborhood stabilization fund during the 20 years after the parties enter into the agreement. Specifies the purposes for which these revenues may be used and the area in which these revenues may be used. Provides that upon approval by the legislative body of a county containing a consolidated city, the county executive may submit an application to the budget committee for review and recommendation to the budget agency, requesting the designation by the budget agency of the White River revitalization district.

Provides that not more than $5,000,000 in tax revenues may be captured by the district over the life of the district.

AFP POSITION: OPPOSE

REASON: Without any independent study or analysis, supporters of an Indianapolis soccer stadium are seeking to retain tax dollars generated at their place of business for the purposes of financing the construction of a new stadium. Without any guarantee of future revenue, taxpayers are the ones who seem to ultimately hold the risk of this venture. In a free market, consumers (taxpayers) should be the ones making the decision on what is essential to their community

STATUS: Passed House 73-22; Passed Senate with Amendments; Dissented in House

HB 1349: VARIOUS TAX MATTERSSUMMARY: Eliminates the double direct test for the gross retail tax exemption for various transactions involving various types of tangible personal property.

Eliminates various adjustments to income for purposes of determining Indiana adjusted gross income. Eliminates various income tax exemptions, deductions, and credits.

AFP POSITION: SUPPORT

REASON: Reduces the complexity in the tax code by removing tax credits which ultimately benefit a small number of people at the cost of others. AFP-IN supports a simpler tax code with lower rates for a broader base of taxpayers.

STATUS: Passed Senate 34-16; Passed House 65-35; Signed by Governor

SB 327: TRANSPARENCY PORTALSUMMARY: Allows the fiscal body of Monroe County to adopt an ordinance to impose an additional local income tax rate to fund one or more county transit projects. Provides that the rate must be at least 0.1% but not more than 0.25%.

AFP POSITION: SUPPORT

REASON: AFP Indiana opposes a potential $7 million tax increase on Monroe County families.

STATUS: Passed Senate 48-1; Passed House 94-0; Signed by Governor

SB 333: ROAD FUNDING AND REGIONAL CITIESSUMMARY: Provides that a county may impose the county motor vehicle license excise surtax and the county wheel tax at higher rates if the county uses a transportation asset management plan approved by the department. Authorizes an eligible municipality to impose a municipal motor vehicle excise surtax and a municipal wheel tax. Increases the gasoline tax from the current rate of 18 cents per gallon to an indexed rate to be determined by the department

of revenue. Increases the special fuel tax from the current rate of 16 cents per gallon to an indexed rate to be determined by the department of revenue. Increases the motor carrier surcharge tax from the current rate of 11 cents per gallon to an indexed rate to be determined by the department of revenue. Increases the cigarette tax to $1.995 per pack and uses the additional revenue for reimbursements of Medicaid providers. Requires a person who registers an electric vehicle to pay a supplemental registration fee of $100. Appropriates $42,000,000 from the Indiana regional cities development fund for the purpose of funding a third grant under the regional cities initiative.

AFP POSITION: OPPOSE

REASON: AFP Indiana opposes this bill because it increases the burden for Hoosier taxpayers. Prioritizing spending should be the focus of the legislature through the regular budget process. The tax increases included in this bill far outweigh the promised cuts that would be enacted over the next decade.

STATUS: Passed House 57-35; Senate dissented from House amendments
