Committee adopts one-year extension amendment to Senate Bill 1
Summary
Lawmakers in the Tax and Fiscal Policy Committee adopted an amendment to extend the expiration date in Senate Bill 1 by one year and advanced the amended bill by consent after a unanimous roll call.
The Tax and Fiscal Policy Committee on May 20 adopted Amendment No. 1 to Senate Bill 1, moving the bill's expiration date from 2026 to 2027 and advancing the amended bill by unanimous consent.
The amendment was offered by Senator Baldwin and described in committee as intended to "provide a little more stability, avoid some legislative bottleneck and kind of align with future buzz up cycles," according to Baldwin. The committee agreed to take the amendment by consent.
Representative Thompson asked members to support the bill and the committee heard one registered witness, Dave Bodarf. A roll call recorded the senators present voting in favor; the chair announced the tally as unanimous. The chair then recognized that the committee had an "amended bill" and turned the floor back to the bill sponsor for further consideration.
No further debate or changes were recorded in the committee transcript. Committee members present who were named during the roll call included Senator Magura, Senator Huddling, Senator Neskoski, Senator Randolph, Senator Baldwin, Senator Buchanan, Senator Guardian, Senator Gaskell, Senator Johnson, Senator Niemeyer, Senator Rogers, Senator Walker and Chairman Homan; the chair announced his own affirmative vote. The transcript reflects the amendment was adopted and the amended bill moved forward from the committee.
The committee did not record in the transcript any additional fiscal details or a final enacted text; staff follow-up and formal committee minutes would carry the official vote tally and next steps.
