Wrap: A bill to replace the current use tax with a sales tax passed the Senate floor twenty eight to zero.

Now the bill moves to a House committee before it can be voted for on the House floor.

Republican House Speaker Tim Jones says this bill is better than the one that Governor Jay Nixon vetoed last year.

The bill last year would have taxed everyone that had previously bought a car out of state, but this year's version removed that language.

Wrap:The Senate voted twenty eight to zero to pass a bill that changes the state use tax to a sales tax.

Governor Jay Nixon vetoed a similar bill last year because it taxed those who had already purchased cars, but this years version will only tax future purchases.

Republican House Speaker Tim Jones says he is willing to work with the bill if the Governor is.

The sales tax would not only apply to cars bought out of state, but also to sales from friends or neighbors who aren't state auto-dealers.
