Ways and Means Votes ITL on Bills to Repeal Business Taxes; HB 15‑46 and HB 16‑29 Reported Inexpedient to Legislate
Summary
In executive sessions the committee voted Inexpedient to Legislate on HB 15‑46 (repeal Business Profits Tax) and HB 16‑29 (repeal Business Enterprise Tax). HB 15‑46 passed ITL by roll call 17‑0; HB 16‑29 passed ITL by roll call 17‑0 (three members absent).
During the meeting the committee moved into executive sessions to consider repeal measures affecting the state's two primary business taxes.
On HB 15‑46 (repeal of the Business Profits Tax), Representative Ulrey moved ITL (Inexpedient to Legislate). The clerk conducted a roll‑call vote and the chair announced the final tally: 17 members voted yes on the ITL motion and 0 voted no. The chair closed the executive session on HB 15‑46.
On HB 16‑29 (repeal of the Business Enterprise Tax), the committee likewise opened executive session, took a motion to ITL, and recorded a roll‑call vote that the chair announced as 17‑0 in favor of ITL (the record also noted three absent members). The ITL motion for HB 16‑29 passed and the committee closed that executive session.
A separate executive session considered HB 1338 (restricting abortion providers from certain charitable definitions for games of chance) and passed an ITL motion by roll call 14‑2; the chair placed that bill on the consent calendar.
These votes mean the committee recommended against advancing the repeal bills out of committee at this time; the roll‑call tallies recorded in committee are the official committee record.
