House amends, then tables income-tax cut bill HB 337 in executive action
Summary
During executive action the House Taxation Committee adopted a technical amendment to House Bill 337, then tabled the bill; the recorded roll call showed 20 ayes and 1 nay and proxies noted in the record.
The House Taxation Committee took executive action on House Bill 337 and adopted Amendment HB337.1.1, described in committee staff material as correcting technical drafting issues in the fiscal note’s inflation factor. Ms. Moore explained the amendment addressed two technical notes on the fiscal note.
Committee members adopted the amendment by voice vote and then proceeded to a roll-call vote on the amended bill. The committee clerk recorded a roll-call result of 20 ayes and 1 nay; the record also notes that Representatives Zolnikoff, Fitzpatrick and Lear were recorded as voting aye by proxy. The committee then tabled House Bill 337, as once amended, according to the hearing record.
The hearing record includes multiple members’ concerns about the long-term fiscal trajectory and risk if similar income-tax reductions are continued in future years without offsetting measures. Representative comments referenced a Legislative Fiscal Division presentation and structural balance concerns in fiscal years beyond the current biennium.
The transcript records the procedural motions, the amendment text purpose, the voice vote on the amendment and the roll-call counts; it does not contain text of a final floor amendment beyond the staff summary of technical corrections. The committee’s action in this transcript is the amendment’s adoption followed by tabling of HB 337 as amended.
