2021 Session Summary

6/21/2021

 
While not all final bills have passed, this analysis outlines on how we believe the session will play out. Read on or watch a brief summary video by Ben Wogsland, Director of Government Relations.

We identified 7 top policy objective this session. Here's how we did:
  • Roadmap to Recovery | Total Victory
  • PPP Tax-Free | Total Victory
  • ProStart/HTMP Workforce Grant | Total Victory
  • Property Tax Freeze | Partial Victory
  • Grant Program | Partial Victory
  • No-Interest Loan Assistance | Partial Victory and Missed Opportunity
  • Sales Tax Exemption on Restaurant Equipment | Missed Opportunity

We count some issues as successes because they are NOT in the deal. Those include:
  • Statewide Right to Recall mandate for hotel and event workers
  • Mandated paid family leave program with tax/fee increases
  • Mandated and prescriptive earned sick time program
  • Ban on sharing credit card fees on tips
  • Redirection of lodging taxes for municipal capital projects
  • Increased taxes to fund Street Improvement Districts
  • Carbon monoxide detectors in all hotel rooms
  • Increases to boat fees
