OK Supreme Court Upholds Tax Cut
Oklahoma State Supreme Court upholds tax cut
Tulsa World
OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that an income tax cut passed by lawmakers last session does not violate the state Constitution.
Oklahoma City attorney Jerry Fent had filed a legal challenge to Senate Bill 1246.
The state’s high court ruled that the measure did not violate State Question 640.
The constitutional amendment, passed by voters in 1992, requires that tax increases receive three-fourths support in both the House and the Senate, or go to a vote of the people. The measure did neither.
Fent argued that provisions of SQ 640 also applied to tax cuts.
