Finance, Revenue, & Bonding Public Hearing:

Proposed Tax on Ammunition

Tomorrow, Thursday, February 27^th, the Finance, Revenue, & Bonding Committee will hold a public hearing on H.B. 5040, An Act Establishing an Excise Tax on Ammunition.

Finance, Revenue, & Bonding Public Hearing – Proposed Ammo Tax

Legislative Office Building (LOB), Room 2E, 300 Capitol Avenue, Hartford

Tomorrow, Thursday, February 27^th, 2020 beginning at 1:00 p.m.

I strongly opposed this bill. Not only will this proposed tax disproportionately affect law-abiding citizens and small business owners who sell ammunition, but it is just the latest attempt by Hartford Democratic leaders to reach into our pockets to cover up a deficit they created.

I encourage you to testify on this bill, whether in person or by submitting a statement online (instructions below). I also encourage you to share this message with others who may not be receiving these updates so they may be made aware of this important public hearing.
