Gov. Bobby Jindal announced on Sunday that he has signed a bill by Sen. Buddy Shaw into law, fully eliminating the Stelly Tax on Louisiana taxpayers.

"This legislation is a tremendous victory for the people of our state," Jindal said. "Allowing Louisianans to keep more of their hard-earned money in their own pockets not only benefits families all across the state, it is also one of the best ways we can grow and strengthen our economy and encourage increased investment. The elimination of the Stelly tax means we have cut more than $300 million in taxes, and more than $1 billion in taxes over the next five years."
