House Appropriations Committee advances scholarship-reporting and malt-beverage tax credit bills
Summary
The House Appropriations Committee voted unanimously to pass a two-bill package: House Bill 22-37, which ties the New Economy Technology Scholarship annual report to program funding, and House Bill 23-40, which updates the malt beverage tax credit program; both were referred to the floor.
The House Appropriations Committee voted unanimously to pass a two-bill package and referred both measures to the full House.
The committee chair called the meeting to order and, following roll call, the committee executive director summarized the agenda. The director said the first bill before the panel, House Bill 22-37, “makes the annual report for the New Economy Technology Scholarship subject to funding for the program,” and that House Bill 23-40 “updates the malt beverage tax credit program.”
The chair then called up the two bills as a package for consideration. There was no extended debate on either measure; a member stated that Republicans would vote in the affirmative and the record shows Democrats likewise indicated an affirmative vote. The chair announced that both House Bill 22-37 and House Bill 23-40 “will pass the committee unanimously” and be re-referred to the floor.
The meeting ended with the chair saying there was no further business and adjourning the session. The transcript does not record individual roll-call votes on the final action; the committee reported unanimous support among members present and re-referred the bills to the House floor.
