Members of a committee of conference discussed a proposed package of tax credits intended to help Vermonters, but participants warned a cost analysis by the tax department could delay action.

The discussion opened with expressions of support for the proposal. A committee member said, "I really liked your bill, and I'm glad you have put it forward. So, thanks for all your good work." Another committee member responded, "I'm really excited about what these tax credits are gonna do for Vermonters to improve their lives and, you know, many different lives. I think it's a really incredibly broad based set of tax credits. And I'm hopeful I talked to a number of people who worked on the tax credit that you all put forward, and I'm really hopeful that more work can get done to, add more definition to it so we can discuss it further next year."

A separate committee member raised concerns about the administrative cost estimate the group had requested from the tax department, saying, "Oh, I know there's a cost, you know, with the tax department, but I'm a little concerned about what we asked tax department. Mhmm. So we might not get it this year. I'm sorry. This is not gonna be here." That exchange left the committee discussing whether the item would proceed this session or be deferred for further definition and analysis.
