Centralized sales tax collection bill is the holy grail to Louisiana leaders Mark Ballard In what a business lobbyist calls the holy grail of the session, House Speaker Clay Schexnayder is pressing a bill he hopes will overcome generations of reluctance by local governmental taxing agencies to turn over their sales tax collection and distribution authority to the state. While municipal governments haven t rallied around House Bill 199, at least they re not throwing up roadblocks to it. The bill would create a new  centralized system that would align Louisiana s taxing system with those in rest of the country.. We appreciate the speaker including us and local government in providing input on the bill,  John Gallagher, head of the Louisiana Municipal Association, said Thursday. At this time, we remain neutral and asking our members for input while we remain actively engaged in the process.
