Taxation committee tables two Senate bills and advances one; SB3 passes 21–0
Summary
During executive action the committee rejected Senate Bills 93 and 99 on roll-call votes and then tabled both; Senate Bill 3 passed the committee by voice vote 21–0 and Representative Brewster agreed to carry it forward.
After hearings the House Taxation Committee met for executive action on three Senate bills. For Senate Bill 93, members debated veterans' pension tax-curtailment provisions and then held a roll-call vote that failed 6–15. Representative Thain moved to table the bill and the motion to table passed on voice vote with proxy votes counted (committee reported 21–0 in favor of tabling). The committee recorded the motion to table as the final action on SB 93.
The committee then considered Senate Bill 99. Representative Close warned against varying from federal definitions for unrelated business income tax (UBIT). The committee held a roll-call vote and SB 99 failed 7–14. A motion to table SB 99 passed on voice vote with proxy votes (21–0 reported).
For Senate Bill 3, the committee heard brief discussion and then took a voice vote. The bill passed the Taxation Committee by a vote of 21–0. Representative Brewster moved to carry the bill forward and agreed to do so. The committee concluded its business and adjourned until 09:00 the following day.
