Conference committee delays decision on adding House Bill 2086 to Senate Bill 64
Summary
A House–Senate conference committee met to discuss Senate Bill 64 and deferred a decision on whether to add the contents of House Bill 2086 to SB 64, scheduling a reconvening at 1:30 p.m.
A House–Senate conference committee met to discuss Senate Bill 64 and deferred a decision on whether to add the contents of House Bill 2086 to SB 64, scheduling a reconvening at 1:30 p.m.
Eileen (staff member) described SB 64 as “the bill relating to CAPERS,” saying it would correct internal statutory references, extend the time for filing administrative appeals and update provisions to ensure compliance with the federal Internal Revenue Code. “This is the bill, as you recall, that would adjust certain to certain internal references,” Eileen said.
Chair (conference committee chair) noted SB 64 had passed both chambers unanimously and summarized the Senate position as removing an effective date so the change would read on the statute book. “I might note that this bill passed both chambers unanimously,” the chair said.
A conference committee member said the House’s counterproposal would accept the Senate position on removing the effective date but would also “stick the contents of HB 2,086” into SB 64. Committee members then stepped out to consult among themselves and later agreed to reconvene at 1:30 p.m. to resolve the counteroffer.
The transcript shows the committee did not take a formal vote on SB 64 during this session. Members discussed procedural differences between the chambers — chiefly the House request to incorporate HB 2086 and the Senate preference to revert language to the statute book — and scheduled a short afternoon meeting to complete negotiations.
Committee members also noted that Senate Bill 2152 had been concurred on previously and is on its way to the governor’s desk. “We concurred on 2152 yesterday… That is on its way to the Governor’s Desk,” a member said.
The committee’s next step is the planned 1:30 p.m. reconvening to decide whether to accept the House’s proposed addition of HB 2086 to SB 64 or to maintain the Senate position to remove the effective date and revert to the statute book.
No roll-call votes or formal amendments were recorded in the transcript for SB 64 during this meeting.
