OKLAHOMA CITY – House Democratic Leader Cyndi Munson, D-Oklahoma City, introduced HB 2228 to modernize and expand the Sales Tax Relief Credit in Oklahoma. The sales tax relief credit, created in 1990, is meant to help those who need it most by targeting tax relief to middle and low-income families.
“In two weeks, we will head back to the State Capitol to work on behalf of all Oklahomans,” Leader Munson said. “My focus will be to tackle the number one issue I heard on the doorsteps: providing financial relief for working families. As bills are being filed today, Oklahomans will be able to see what and who their state leaders prioritize. For me, it is finding ways to lower costs for working families who need it the most.
“We talk a lot about finding the best solutions to provide financial and economic relief for every day, working Oklahomans. Modernizing and expanding the sales tax relief credit will provide relief for lower and middle-income earners while protecting our state’s revenue base. HB 2228 will help thousands of Oklahomans who currently stretch their dollars for rent, groceries, utilities, and gasoline for their cars. I am hopeful for bipartisan support on this piece of legislation so we can begin to truly address the real economic challenges of Oklahoma families.”
