Committee amendment adopted to keep Tax Corrections Act limited to noncontroversial fixes, committee reports advance bills

In the Committee of the Whole on Monday, the House considered committee recommendations and adopted an amendment to Senate Bill 1430 proposed by the Committee on Ways and Means.

Representative Olsen, moving the committee amendment, said the change "addressed a particular issue that became somewhat controversial in the Tax Corrections Act" and that the amendment removes that portion so the act remains "simply correction of acts and not any change in policy." The Committee of the Whole adopted the amendment without recorded opposition and reported that SB 1430 as amended do pass.

The Committee on Commerce also reported Senate Bill 1415 do pass; that recommendation was adopted and recorded by the Committee of the Whole. SB1193 was retained on the calendar.

Committee reports were returned to the House and entered in the journal for placement on the House calendar.
