Committee sends technical vehicle bill to general register after adopting amendment
Summary
House File 2133, a vehicle bill used as a legislative vehicle for future language, was amended and sent to the general register; the amendment was adopted by voice vote.
The House Taxes Committee adopted the H2133A1 amendment to House File 2133 and sent the bill to the general register. Members said the vehicle bill would be available for use in future negotiations or to carry provisions later in the session.
Chair Davids (committee chair) moved the H2133A1 amendment, which passed on a voice vote. The committee then voted to send House File 2133, as amended, to the general register for future consideration.
Action: H2133A1 amendment adopted (voice vote); House File 2133 as amended sent to the general register. No roll‑call tally was recorded in committee minutes.
Why it matters: Vehicle bills are commonly used to carry language into later stages of the legislative process; moving a vehicle to the general register preserves the committee's ability to use it during omnibus negotiations.
Next steps: The bill remains on the general register and may be modified or used as a legislative vehicle later in the session.
