Senate circles SB 191 substitute on severance tax and plans substitute on floor
Summary
Sen. Beverly Evans moved to place Senate Bill 191 (severance tax amendment) at the top of the second‑reading calendar and to delete title and body and replace it with a first substitute; the chamber voted to 'circle' the substitute so members could view the substitute text electronically before further floor action.
Sen. Beverly Evans told the Senate that negotiators had reached consensus on changes to severance tax provisions and that the agreed substitute was not yet printed. She moved to put Senate Bill 191 at the top of the second‑reading calendar and to delete title and body and replace it with the first substitute. The Senate voted to circle the substitute so members could review it on computers before the body worked the bill on the floor.
Evans described the measure as a consensus bill affecting severance tax and indicated a title‑and‑body substitution would follow once members had a chance to read the substitute text. Several senators urged leaving the bill circled to preserve the compromise, noting it was an important bill for the current and future budget years.
