House records Senate signing of HB 3004 on food sales tax; awaits enrolled copy of HB 3001 transportation reallocation
Summary
On the House floor, members were told the president of the Senate signed House Bill 3004, a sales-and-use tax measure relating to food introduced by Representative Lee Ferry, and that the Senate has passed House Bill 3001 (second substitute) reallocating transportation funding; staff said they are awaiting enrolled copies for distribution and enrolling.
The House recorded that the president of the Senate had signed House Bill 3004, a sales-and-use tax measure relating to food introduced by Representative Lee Ferry, and the item was transmitted to the Speaker for processing. Antley Moore, secretary of the Senate, identified the item on the floor during the exchange.
An unidentified floor speaker said, “House Bill 3,004 will be signed by the speaker and refer to staff for enrolling,” indicating the next clerical step is enrolling the bill so it can be finalized. Representatives were told to expect the enrolled document to be distributed by staff.
Members were also notified that House Bill 3001, second substitute, a technical reallocation of transportation funding, had been passed by the Senate. The same floor speaker said Representatives should have the text on their computers and that the chamber was “just waiting on” the enrolled copy before further processing.
No formal votes or amendments were recorded on the House floor during the minutes captured in this transcript excerpt. The immediate procedural steps reported were enrollment of HB 3004 by House staff and distribution of the enrolled copy of HB 3001 once it is received from the Senate.
