Committee sets House income tax bill for consideration, adopts resolution in 12-0 vote

A legislative committee voted unanimously to adopt a resolution that sets the House income tax bill for consideration after the budget and places House Bill 4216 and House Bill 3368 (tax conformity) on the committeeagenda, the committeechair said.

The chair asked for a motion to adopt the resolution as a committee resolution; the motion was recorded as moved by Representative Mitchell. The clerk conducted a roll call and the members recorded affirmative responses. "There are 12 votes in favor, none in opposition," the chair announced, and the chair declared the motion adopted.

The adopted resolution, the chair said, will be set as a committee resolution and is sufficient to meet the two-thirds requirement for adoption by the committee. The meeting record shows Kasky, Forrest, Britton, Bustos, Hardy, Hayes, Hewitt, Hyatt, Low, Mitchell, Newton and Petalino as voting in the affirmative.

After the vote the chair handled a brief administrative question about whether a member had provided materials, then thanked attendees and adjourned the meeting.

Notes on the transcript: one intervening utterance transcribes a memberresponse as "Heard" and one name in a brief administrative exchange appears in the transcript as "Bussez;" those entries are marked as unclear in the official record and the outcome is recorded as the chair announced (12-0).
