The Budget and Taxation Committee disposed of a number of technical and departmental measures by voice vote during its session.

Bills acted on with brief discussion or staff explanation included:

- House Bill 614: A corrective bill requested by the Comptroller to clarify how the applicable county income tax rate is used to calculate the local earned income tax credit; staff described the change as technical and applicable to Anne Arundel and Frederick counties. Committee approved by voice vote.

- House Bill 617: Clarifies that incoming calls that may be monitored or recorded under existing authority are limited to calls coming to the comptroller's call center. Committee approved by voice vote.

- House Bill 619: A departmental bill from the Comptroller's office to exempt sales of cannabis between a licensed cannabis business and a registered nursery from sales and use tax; staff described the change as technical. Committee approved by voice vote.

- House Bill 618: Authorizes the State Lottery to offer subscription purchases for certain lottery games electronically; committee decided to hold the item and return after session.

- Washington County delegation bill (filed as item 750): Passed cleanly by voice vote, per the transcript.

- Prior authorization bill, House Bill 1519: Modifies authorizations of state debt and prior year capital budgets; an amendment updated project names and titles and the committee moved the bill forward by voice vote. Committee staff noted additional changes would be considered on the Senate floor and that floor amendments were likely prior to final enactment.

Most of these measures were described by staff as technical or conforming changes; the transcript records voice votes for approval on the listed bills and that some items (for example, HB 618) were held for further consideration. Where the transcript did not provide roll‑call tallies or movers, outcomes are reported as committee approval by voice vote or as held, as stated on the record.
