Governor Edwards Takes Final Action on 2023 Regular Session Tax Measures
On June 30, 2023, Governor John Bel Edwards announced that he has taken final action on the passed bills from Louisiana’s 2023 Regular Session.
Of the final action taken, Governor Edwards signed forty-eight tax measures into law and vetoed two tax measures. The two vetoed measures were Senator Brett Allain’s SB 1 and SB 6. SB 1 would have modified current provisions in law pertaining to the reduction of the corporate franchise tax to provide for a reduction of the tax over a six-year period by 25% in each year that certain revenue collection thresholds are met. The bill’s tied legislation, SB 6, would have reduced the capital expenditure and sales tax rebate portions of Louisiana’s Quality Jobs Program up to 50% as a “pay-for” for any potential reduction of the corporate franchise tax.
