Floridians would get a small tax break on their cellphone bills under a new tax cut package proposed by House Republicans.
A Florida House panel on Tuesday voted in favor of a nearly $300 million proposal. The House voted for a nearly $700 million package of tax cuts during the Regular Session this year.
Legislators have returned to the state Capitol to pass a new state budget. House leaders want money set aside for tax cuts.
The tax cut bill approved by the House Finance and Tax Committee includes a three-day back-to-school sales tax holiday. It also includes a sales tax holiday for college textbooks.
The measure would save Floridians about $10 a year on their cellphone bills. Gov. Rick Scott had proposed a $43 cut.
