Committee rolls multiple local tax bills into a substitute and advances package in executive session

Summary
After public hearings the House Local Government Committee moved into executive session, called roll on several ‘due pass’ motions and approved a packaged substitute (House Committee substitute for HB 2,431) and other bills by recorded roll calls; recorded tallies included 13–1 and unanimous votes on different items.
Following public testimony, Chairman Hinman moved the committee into executive session to consider a package of local tax and related bills assembled into a substitute vehicle (House Committee substitute for House Bill 2,431).
The clerk called roll for several due-pass motions. The transcript records the committee moving that House Bill 27,32 be voted due pass; the clerk’s tally was reported as 13 ayes and 1 no, and the motion carried. The committee then moved that House Bill 3,028 be voted due pass; the clerk announced a unanimous vote of 14 ayes. Finally, the committee adopted a substitute and moved the House Committee substitute for House Bill 2,431 to a due-pass vote; the clerk’s tally was recorded as 13 ayes and 1 no.
The sponsor and chair discussed the substance of the substitute: leadership requested a package that compiles many local tax and tourism bills into a single vehicle to improve prospects for passage. Chairman Hinman explained the substitute added multiple city-level tax and tourism bills and that an additional amendment rolled in remaining items on the spreadsheet. Representative McGaugh thanked the sponsor for working to incorporate those local requests.
After the recorded roll calls the chair adjourned the committee. The transcript does not show floor passage; the minutes record only the committee-level due-pass actions and vote tallies noted above.
