House reconsiders HB255, "circles" it; tax-law amendment distributed for weekend review, chamber to reconvene Monday at 7 a.m.
Summary
The House voted to reconsider and then "circle" House Bill 255 (Environmental Lien Act); leaders announced a tax-law amendment to be distributed for weekend review (to be numbered HB461) and scheduled reconvening at 7:00 a.m. Monday to finish business.
During the same floor session, members moved to reconsider the chamber's prior action on House Bill 255, the Environmental Lien Act. The motion to reconsider carried on voice vote, and the body then voted to "circle" the bill, effectively setting it aside for further work.
House leadership also alerted members to additional items coming to the floor: House Bill 482 has not yet been to a committee and leadership urged members to review it. Lawmakers were told a tax-law amendment has been drafted following negotiations and will be handed out for weekend review; the announcement identified it as anticipated House Bill 461 and said the Senate has granted permission to address it on Monday.
To accommodate outstanding work, the presiding officer and leadership asked members to return Monday at 7:00 a.m. to resume business. The House then voted to adjourn to that time.
