Legislative special session through Mar. 5, 2016

HB 62 got back on the bad side of things by amending it into essentially permanent form. But the innocuous HB 2 by Rep. Chris Broadwater suddenly became good with the addition of an amendment that would sunset every tax credit at the end of fiscal year 2017.

THIS WEEK FOR THE GOOD: HB 2 with major amendment passed Senate committee.

THIS WEEK FOR THE BAD: HB 62 with major amendment passed Senate committee and the Senate, House rejected the amendments; HB 72 with minor amendment passed Senate committee and the Senate; HB 95 passed Senate committee.
