Legislative regular session through Jun. 6, 2009

Good news – HB 38 mutated into the substitute HB 902, a better bill that would limit the ability of nonelected officials to roll forward increased property tax collections, perhaps as a response to the Senate’s roughing up SB 37 (see here). It has been added to the list of good bills, along with its constitutional amendment twin HB 903 (replacing its substituted HB 375).

THIS WEEK FOR THE GOOD: HB 26 passed the House; HB 60 passed Senate committee; HB 148 passed the Senate; HB 340 passed Senate committee; HB 770 was involuntarily deferred in House committee; HB 844 with minor amendments failed to pass the House; HB 897 was involuntarily deferred in House committee; HB 902 passed House committee; SB 223 with minor amendments passed the Senate;.

THIS WEEK FOR THE BAD: HB 179 passed the House; HB 243 with minor amendments failed to pass the House; HB 457 passed the House; HB 458 with minor amendments passed the House; HB 497 was involuntarily deferred in House committee; HB 538 with minor amendments passed Senate committee; HB 612 with major amendments passed Senate committee; HB 855 with minor amendments passed Senate committee and the Senate; SB 43 passed House committee; SB 199 with minor amendments passed the Senate; SB 245 with minor amendments passed the Senate; SB 256 with minor amendments passed the Senate; SB 277 passed the Senate; SB 296 passed House committee; SB 335 with minor amendments passed the Senate.
