HB 18 (Children's Hearing Aid Program Amendments)

Libertas Institute opposes this bill.

House Bill 157 in the 2013 session established a two-year pilot program providing $100,000 annually in taxation revenue to purchase hearing aids for needy children. This bill converts the pilot program into a permanent one.

Libertas Institute opposes this bill. While helping needy children is a worthy goal, it is one that should be left to private initiative—not coercive taxation.
