BISMARCK, N.D. (KFGO-AM) - North Dakota's Senate has rejected a measure aimed at exempting clothing from sales tax.
The Senate voted 27-20 Monday to kill the bill.
The measure would exempt clothing from the state's 5 percent sales tax. Local sales taxes also would be exempted.
Tax analysts say the measure would have reduced state tax revenue by about $40 million over the next two years.
Similar measures have failed in the Senate in the past two sessions.
