Chair opens consideration of Senate Bill 8 and offers an amendment narrowing when a library levy increase is subject to binding review: increases up to 50% of the MLGQ (implied 2.5% example) would be exempt from binding review. Committee moved the amendment by consent and passed the bill for the floor, vote recorded as 9 yes, 1 no.
A legislative committee spent the morning hearing and amending a package of tax and local-fiscal bills, most notably Senate Bill 238 (local income tax reallocation and delay of implementation), Senate Bill 264 (EDGE credit changes for workforce), regional redevelopment tax-credit proposals, and a bid to permanently clarify property-tax exemption for nonprofit long-term care providers. Several bills were amended and moved to the floor by recorded roll calls.
