Marijuana tax plan tentatively approved
By a Kansan reporter
TOPEKA — The Senate preliminarily approved a plan yesterday that would require marijuana dealers to pay a tax on their illicit ware.
The bill, which the House passed earlier this year, would require marijuana dealers to attach tax stamps, bought from the state, to their drugs. The dealers could be charged with felony tax evasion, in addition to normal drug charges, if they were caught with stampless marijuana.
State Sen. Nancy Parrish, D-Topeka, said, "We have the potential of collecting quite a bit of revenue. In addition, we would have an extra tool to enforce the drug laws in the state."
The state taxation office can't reveal the names of anyone who buys the stamps because tax records are confidential.
Because tax evasion is a civil offense and is easier to prove than the criminal charge of drug dealing, the bill might help prosecutors to
"It's very difficult to prove intent to sell," said State Sen. Dave Kerr, R-Pratt.
convict a drug dealer who otherwise would go free.
But Kerr emphasized that the bill was enforceable only for civil tax evasion. If it is used as a criminal offense, it is constitutional in the civil law books.
The bill would cost the state about $100,000 to implement.
But Parrish said that money for the plan would be well spent.
State Sen. Paul Feleciano Jr., D-Wichita, said that the state might not be able to afford the plan in its tight financial times, because the plan might cost more than it would make.
"I don't know where we're going to come up with the extra dollars," he
"Perhaps $10,000 might be a good investment if this gives us another tool to crack down on people dealing drugs," she said.
