Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action supports SB 1006 because it promotes limited government. This bill would increase the minimum amount of tangible personal property that is exempt from rendition and assessment for property taxes, and effectively help small businesses which are disproportionately affected by the Texas Business Personal Property tax.
