House Taxation Committee tabling votes: HB 213 and HB 220 fail passage and are tabled
Summary
During executive action the committee failed to pass House Bill 2 13 (10–11) and House Bill 2 20 (9–12). Both measures were subsequently tabled by committee motions (HB 213 tabled 19–2; HB 220 tabled 20–1, counting proxies).
The House Taxation Committee took executive action on two bills, voting on passage and then on whether to table further consideration.
House Bill 2 13: The committee received a motion that HB 2 13 ‘‘do pass.’’ After discussion, members held a roll-call vote; the committee recorded a final passage vote of 10 in favor and 11 opposed, so the motion to pass failed. A follow-up motion to table the bill carried by voice and proxy votes; the committee recorded a tabling vote of 19 in favor and 2 opposed, and HB 2 13 was tabled.
House Bill 2 20: Committee members moved that HB 2 20 ‘‘do pass’’ and requested a roll-call vote. The recorded vote was 9 in favor and 12 opposed, so the bill failed to pass. The committee then voted on a motion to table. After accounting for proxies, the tabling motion passed (committee recorded the tabling vote as 20 ayes to 1 nay) and HB 2 20 was tabled.
The transcript does not record explicit mover/second names for the initial ‘‘do pass’’ motions; the committee minutes show only the motion language and the roll-call counts. The committee used proxies on both the passage and tabling votes; committee officers read individual members’ votes into the record during the roll calls.
Ending: Both bills remain tabled in the House Taxation Committee. Committee leadership indicated additional executive actions or hearings will continue in subsequent meetings.
