Bill to waive business-license fees for veterans goes behind budget review
Summary
Leader Camper introduced House Bill 1108, the Olamate Ransom Reach and Reintegration Act, which would prohibit business-license fees for honorably discharged U.S. veterans; the subcommittee acknowledged a fiscal note and placed the bill behind the budget for further review.
Leader Camper introduced House Bill 1108, the Olamate Ransom Reach and Reintegration Act, saying the bill "would prohibit a fee for business licenses to veterans and US military veterans, guardsmen, and reserve who are honorably discharged from service." The sponsor thanked members for their support and answered brief questions about the bill's background.
Representative Parks praised the proposal as "long overdue," while the chair noted the bill carries a fiscal note. After brief discussion and no objection, the chair said House Bill 1108 "goes behind the budget," meaning the measure will return later for fiscal review rather than advance today.
