SubscribeSummary
The Finance and Taxation committee voted 6‑0 to recommend 'do not pass' on House Bill 15‑34, which mirrors House Bill 15‑75; committee members said they will hold HB 15‑75 and therefore do not need to advance 15‑34.
The Finance and Taxation committee voted unanimously (6‑0) to recommend a “do not pass” on House Bill 15‑34, a bill concerning taxable valuation that the committee said mirrors House Bill 15‑75.
Chairman Weber told the committee HB 15‑34 largely duplicates the measure in HB 15‑75 and that the committee planned to sit on HB 15‑75 for the time being; as a result members agreed there was no need to advance HB 15‑34. Senator Wallin moved the recommendation of “do not pass”; Senator Rummel seconded.
The clerk conducted a roll call and recorded unanimous “yes” votes from the committee. Senator Wallen agreed to carry the do‑not‑pass recommendation to the floor for sponsor purposes.
No changes to statute were made by the committee; the action was a committee recommendation. The committee said it will continue to consider the related taxable‑valuation matter through the other bill (HB 15‑75) and that further action may follow there.
Implementation notes: committee members did not provide fiscal or implementation specifics in the transcript for HB 15‑34; they indicated the bill is being held in favor of its companion measure.
