A Senate committee on Monday killed a bill that sought to create more tax equity between traditional car rental companies and new peer-to-peer car sharing firms.
Rep. Kim Coleman, R-West Jordan, the bill’s sponsor, said she had worked out a compromise that most sides could support, but it came so late that she had been unable to put it into a written substitute bill.
The committee was unwilling to forward the bill to the Senate floor without first seeing the changes in writing, and voted 5-1 essentially to kill it for the session.
However, Sen. Curt Bramble, R-Provo, is pushing a bill pending before the Senate on the same topic, and it is possible that the changes could made to it.
