  RESCHEDULED: Northern Kentucky Chamber's Day and Night In Frankfort - Now Being Held On March 18, 2010  
 

The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce has rescheduled the annual “Day and Night in Frankfort” for March 18th. March will be a very busy time for legislators as they debate the budget and our messages about how to promote job growth and economic development; employ sound fiscal policy; and seek high return on investment will be very helpful to lawmakers. Our legislators will hear loud and clear that what’s good for Northern Kentucky is good for the entire state.

 

The agenda remains the same. A chartered bus will leave the Chamber parking lot at 7:00 a.m. Deadline for registration is Mon., March 15th. To register contact Jane Moore at 859-578-6391 or jmoore@nkychamber.com.

  WE WANT YOUR INPUT ON HB 353  
 



For many years businesses operating in multiple jurisdictions, particularly in metropolitan areas, have expressed concerns about their difficulties in having to file their occupational taxes in multiple communities.  Solutions to create greater efficiency and streamline tax filing have been attempted, but not yet sufficient to accomplish the desired outcome of a “one-stop system “ in Northern Kentucky – either by county or across the entire region.

HB 353 (Santoro) was recently introduced in Kentucky’s House of Representatives. If passed, HB 353 would create a new section of KRS Chapter 131 requiring the Department of Revenue to establish a web-based system for the centralized reporting and collection of local occupational license taxes and fees, including payroll taxes.

Those opposed to HB 353 do not believe that the state should collect city funds and that the state’s administrative fees would decrease the amount of revenue collected by localities.

Those supporting HB 353 believe one central collection system will make it easier for businesses to pay their taxes and fees.

The Chamber would like your input on HB 353. Do we need a Frankfort solution? A local solution? Do we need to do anything? Please follow the link below and take this 1 question survey. We will post the results next week.

  Unemployment Insurance Bill in Senate Committee  
 

HB 349, a collaborative effort between business, labor and the General Assembly, is designed to ensure the long-term stability and solvency of Kentucky’s Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund (UI). This bill has passed the Kentucky House of Representatives 97-0 and was assigned to the Senate State and Local Government Committee (Chaired by Senator Thayer of Georgetown).

 

As of December 2009, Kentucky has borrowed more than $550 million from the federal government to meet UI obligations to the state’s unemployed. Beginning in 2011, Kentucky must repay the federal government all monies with interest. If the Commonwealth does nothing to correct the program, Kentucky employers are projected to pay $455 million more in federal taxes.

 

While HB 349 represents a small increase in employers’ contributions to the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund in the short-term, it will allow employers to move to different UI tax schedules with lower tax rates in the future as the federal credit is paid down and the trust fund grows.

 

The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce urges the Kentucky General Assembly to support legislation that supports job creation and economic growth and employs sound fiscal policy. HB 349 represents forward-thinking programmatic reform that Kentucky needs. It will save Kentucky employers and the state’s Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund more than $700 million over the next decade compared to a “do-nothing” approach, which will trigger automatic federal tax increases.

PLEASE CALL 1-800-372-7181 WITH THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE:

“My name is ________ and I live at (your address) in (your city/town). My Senator is ____________. Please inform him/her that I SUPPORT HB 349 which will save Kentucky employers and the state’s Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund more than $700 million over the next decade and provide solvency to a fund that provides for Kentucky’s unemployed.”

  Senator Stine's School Energy-Efficiency Bill Passes Senate  
 

 

Senate Bill 132, sponsored by Senate President Pro Tempore Katie Stine (R-Southgate) would require the state Department of Education to develop guidelines for efficient school design, with an emphasis on energy savings. Both the state and local districts would be encouraged to choose school designs that save money over the long term rather than simply during initial construction. The bill also encourages “net zero buildings” in which off-site renewable energy sources offset the energy consumed by the building itself.

 

SB 132 has no fiscal impact to the state’s budget but does create a trust fund to receive any appropriations or grants (from the federal government or others sources) that may be available to help construct or renovate schools.

 

The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce thanks Senate President Pro Tempore Stine for her work on this bill, SUPPORTS SB 132, and encourages the House to pass this measure this session.

 

PLEASE CALL 1-800-372-7181 WITH THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE:

“My name is ________ and I live at (your address) in (your city/town). My Representative is ____________. Please inform him/her that I SUPPORT SB 132 because it exemplifies forward-thinking policy for Kentucky that encourages energy-efficient, cost-effective construction for our schools.”

  HB 322 Recommitted to House Education Committee  
 

This week the KY House took HB 322 off the Regular Orders of the Day and recommitted it to the Education Committee. The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce believes that HB 322 (Stevens) in its current form with the House Committee Substitute will go a long way in improving the selection of principals in our schools. HB 322 represents a more collaborative effort between superintendents and school councils. At the end of the day, school superintendents are accountable for successes and failures in their districts and they should be able to play a critical role in making important personnel decisions. Giving superintendents authority to make key personnel decisions has long been a priority for the Chamber and we urge our Northern Kentucky Legislative Caucus to support HB 322 with the House Committee Substitute in its current form.

 

PLEASE CALL 1-800-372-7181 WITH THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE:

“My name is ________ and I live at (your address) in (your city/town). My Representative/Senator is ____________. Please inform him/her that I SUPPORT HB 322 IN ITS CURRENT FORM WITH THE HOUSE SUBSTITUTE because those who run our school districts should make the call as to who manages our schools.”

  Information You Can ACT On  
 

The purpose of the Capitol Update is to inform you about how legislation in Frankfort affects our community and, most importantly, give you an easy way to ACT. We urge you to phone your legislator, using the Toll Free 1-800-372-7181 Message Line. When using this message line, you are not connected directly with your legislator. Instead, this simple service allows you to leave a brief 30-second to 45-second message with a live operator, who will complete a “green slip” that each House and Senate member reviews on a frequent basis. Short messages are the most effective: “This is John Smith, and I live at 111 Maple Street in Erlanger. Would you please inform Representative Jones that I support HB 40, and ask that he support it, too.”    

 

Know that your legislators WANT to hear from you. Unclear who your legislators are do you want to join the Grassroots Network? Contact Jane Moore at 859-578-6391 or jmoore@nkychamber.com.

The biggest hurdle to engaging in grassroots advocacy is that many members are not experts on the issues. This year, we launched

 

“Member education is the most critical component to having a successful grassroots program. ActForNKY.com will be the main portal by which the Chamber will educate and empower our members on key issues so that they have all the information they need to play an active role in shaping public policy,” explained Greg Greene, vice chairman of the Chamber’s Business Advocacy Council.
