Special session ends after Legislature transmits SB 4001 and HB 4001 for speaker signature
Summary
During a short fourth special session the House received notifications that the Senate had concurred in House amendments to SB 4001 (income tax amendments) and transmitted HB 4001 (regional transportation funding) for the speaker’s signature; a motion to adjourn was passed by voice vote.
Members of the House concluded a brief special session after officials told the chamber that both houses had finalized action on two bills and sent them to the speaker for signature.
Preannette B. Moore, identified in the transcript as "secretary of the Senate," told the House that "the Senate concurred in the House amendments and passed Senate Bill 4001, income tax amendments" and transmitted the measure for the speaker’s signature. She also reported that the Senate had passed a House bill described in the transcript as an optional funding measure for regionally significant transportation infrastructure associated with Representative R. Lockhart and transmitted it for the speaker’s signature.
The presiding officer announced that the speaker will sign Senate Bill 4001 and that House Bill 4001 will be signed by the speaker and referred to enrolling staff for final clerical processing. The transcript records these steps as the routine next actions in the enrollment process but does not specify final effective dates or funding details for either bill.
After those communications, Representative Alexander moved that "the fourth special session of the [legislature] adjourn, sign, and die." The presiding officer declared the motion undebatable, called for voices in favor and heard an "Aye." With no recorded opposition, the presiding officer declared the motion passed and the House stood in adjournment.
What the transcript records and what remains unspecified: the record shows passage and transmittal of SB 4001 (identified as an income tax amendments bill sponsored in the Senate by Senator Sue Bramble) and of a House bill described as relating to optional funding for regionally significant transportation infrastructure (associated in the transcript with Representative R. Lockhart). The transcript contains brief garbling in places and does not include roll-call votes, final enrollment documents, bill texts, or specific funding amounts. The session ended with a voice vote to adjourn and no further debate recorded.
