An effort that would amend the Tennessee Constitution in order to prohibit the General Assembly from authorizing, levying, or collecting property taxes in the future is headed toward a full vote in the Tennessee Senate after being approved on Tuesday by a key committee.
The summary provided for Senate Joint Resolution (SJR) 1 by State Senator Ferrell Haile (R-Gallatin) explains it would amend the Tennessee Constitution in order "to prohibit the General Assembly from levying, authorizing, or otherwise permitting a state tax on property."
