Summary
At a March 25 voting session, the House Ways and Means Committee advanced three Washington County delegation bills: HB 843 on tax-sale notice and publication timing, HB 888 expanding a property-tax credit for disabled veterans, and HB 1514, which passed with amendments.
The House Ways and Means Committee advanced three Washington County delegation bills during a March 25 voting session, the committee chair said.
The first, House Bill 843, a local Washington County bill concerning notice of tax sale and publication timing, was introduced by the vice chair and moved and seconded; the committee recorded no discussion and reported the bill "favorable." The vice chair described the measure as addressing timing and notice procedures for tax sales.
The committee next considered House Bill 888, another Washington County delegation bill. The vice chair said the bill would expand eligibility for the local-option property tax credit for disabled veterans. The motion to move the bill was made and seconded; the committee conducted a voice vote and the chair announced, "The ayes have it," moving the bill forward "favorable."
The final item was House Bill 1514, on which the committee served as a secondary reviewer. The chair said the bill had returned with amendments. The committee entertained a motion; the chair reported the amendments had been moved and seconded, the amendments were approved by voice vote, and the committee then approved the bill as amended, reporting it "favorable with amendments."
The chair closed the session by thanking members, advising subcommittee chairs to meet briefly afterward, and reminding members of floor business and a committee dinner scheduled for the following day. "That ends our voting session for today," the chair said.
