House Taxation Committee fails to concur on Senate Bill 90, then tables the measure
Summary
The House Taxation Committee voted 7-14 against a motion to concur on Senate Bill 90 and later voted 16-5 to return the bill to the table during executive action at a committee meeting; proxies and voice votes were used in both actions.
The House Taxation Committee considered executive action on Senate Bill 90 and voted first to reject a motion to concur and then to table the bill.
The committee’s initial roll-call vote on the motion “Senate bill 90 do be concurred in” ended with seven members voting yes and 14 voting no, defeating the motion. A subsequent motion to return Senate Bill 90 to the table passed by voice and roll call, 16-5, effectively tabling the measure.
Chair Fielder called the roll and managed the committee’s executive action on the single bill on the agenda. During the first vote Chair Fielder voted yes. Vice Chair Asman and Vice Chair Thang recorded no votes. Representative Loehr voted yes by proxy; Representative Fitzpatrick voted no by proxy. Representatives Brewster, Durham, Reavis and Weber were among those recorded voting yes; a larger group of members voted no. The committee clerk reported, “7 have voted I, 14 have voted no.”
After the motion to concur failed, Representative Thane moved to return the bill to the table. The committee conducted a voice vote; members then provided a show of hands and proxy tallies. The clerk later reported the final count on that motion as 16 ayes and 5 nays, and the chair announced, “House bill or senate bill number 90 is tabled by a vote of 16 to 5.”
The committee used proxies for several members in both votes and made the final tabling decision before adjourning. The committee chair closed executive action and reminded members that future meetings will handle only senate bills; the committee will meet again Tuesday at 9:00 a.m.
