State Legislature Bills

This bill would give Montana a 12-month suspension of certain state taxes and regulatory fees on dyed farm diesel, home heating propane and fuel, and key agricultural inputs like fertilizer, seed, and livestock feed. It aims to lower rural household and farm costs during inflation, with anti-fraud rules and a follow-up public report on savings and revenue impacts.

This bill creates a fast-track state permitting process for workforce and starter-home housing, plus targeted infrastructure grants and limited tax incentives for mixed-income projects near job centers and transit. In return, projects must meet local code, follow transparent affordability standards, and report annually on units built, approval speed, and where development occurs.

This bill would give Georgians two years of cost-of-living relief by suspending sales tax on groceries, cutting vehicle registration fees by 25%, and capping certain permitting fees for homebuilding and small business energy-efficiency upgrades. It also speeds up state reviews for qualifying housing, grid modernization, and in-state energy projects that already meet existing safety and environmental standards.
