Committee moves on executive actions: HB 836 passes; HB 839 and HB 844 tabled (HB 844 initially fails)
Summary
During executive action, the House Taxation Committee voted HB 836 do pass (11–10), tabled HB 839 by voice vote (proxies reported), and after debate on HB 844 the committee's roll-call vote failed the "do pass" motion (7–14) but then tabled the bill (20–1 with proxies).
The Taxation Committee reconvened for executive action on previously heard bills.
HB 836: A motion to "do pass" HB 836 was offered, debated (members raised concerns about program mechanics described as a mortgage-like line of credit and recommended referral to Appropriations for deeper fiscal work), and put to a roll-call vote. The committee reported an 11–10 vote in favor; the chair announced HB 836 "has passed House Taxation Committee by a vote of 11 to 10."
HB 839: A motion to do pass HB 839 was made and a motion to table followed; the committee voted by voice (with proxies counted) to table HB 839 (reported as 21 aye, 0 nay in the transcript).
HB 844: The committee debated a motion to "do pass" HB 844 with multiple members raising concerns about business-equipment tax shifts and fiscal consequences. The roll-call "do pass" vote failed 7–14. Representative Thain then moved to table HB 844; the committee voice vote with proxies resulted in tabling the bill (reported 20–1) and the committee adjourned.
These executive actions recorded narrow committee votes and several proxy votes; members asked for additional fiscal detail on some measures and signaled further work in appropriations or follow-up briefings as needed.
