Tax committee gives due pass to committee substitute for HB19 to remove appropriation language
Summary
The committee picked up the House committee substitute for HB19, a technical fix that strips appropriation language (section 12) so authorization can move forward when funding is provided in the General Appropriation Act. The committee voted a "do pass" recommendation on the committee substitute.
The House Taxation & Revenue Committee took up a committee substitute for House Bill 19 and voted the measure a "do pass" recommendation.
Representative Lundstrom moved to pick up the House committee substitute for HB19; the motion was seconded and the committee chair directed discussion to the committee substitute. Representative Lundstrom said the substitute is a technical fix: when the General Appropriation Act provides funding for a bill, the bill's appropriation language must be removed so the authorization can proceed while the money is provided elsewhere. The committee substitute removes section 12 of the original bill, which laid out distribution of proceeds and appropriation language. No public comment was taken because the matter had been heard previously. The chair asked whether there was any opposition; none was recorded and the committee clerk announced a "do pass" recommendation on the committee substitute.
Next steps: The committee recommended the committee substitute for HB19 to move forward with a do-pass recommendation to the next stage of the legislative process.
