Summary
The committee advanced HB 1556, which the executive director described as establishing an advanced clean manufacturing tax credit, and the chair said the bill will be referred to the House floor; a member stated they planned to vote against the bill but the transcript records no roll‑call tally.
The committee advanced House Bill 1556, described by the committee executive director as a measure that "establishes the advanced clean manufacturing tax credit," and the chair said the bill "will pass the committee and be referred to the floor of the house."
During consideration, a member voiced opposition, saying, "On this particular bill, mister chairman, we will be voting in the negative." The chair nonetheless announced the bill's passage and referral to the floor. The transcript records these contradictory statements about voting intentions and does not include a roll‑call tally or recorded individual votes for HB 1556.
The executive director summarized HB 1556 during the meeting as a tax‑credit proposal but did not provide dollar amounts, eligibility criteria, or implementation details in the recorded remarks. The transcript contains inconsistent bill‑number spacing ("15 56" in the record) and does not supply fiscal notes or amendment text; those materials should be consulted for details on cost, eligibility, and effective dates.
The committee adjourned after completing its business. Next procedural steps for HB 1556 were not recorded beyond the chair's statement that it will be referred to the House floor.
