Clerk announced Amendment 25 51, which would delay the billfrom taking effect until the NBA restores the Seattle SuperSonics (motion introduced by Representative Ybarra). Representative Ybarra framed the amendment around attracting an NBA franchise and concerns about income and head taxes; opponents argued the legislature should not tie implementation of tax law to another body. After floor debate the House took an oral roll-call; the clerk reported 37 yays and 56 nays and the amendment was not adopted.

Lawmakers argued over constitutionality, administrative costs, implementation staffing and protections for pensioners before the House approved final passage by a 51-46 margin.
