House Judiciary Met Today

Today, the House Judiciary Committee met and discussed HB 2006-committee substitute and HB 2205.

The Committee Substitute of HB 2006 was approved in the committee to go to the House floor. HB 2006 would increase the penalties for violating the Whistle-blower Law. The bill additionally authorizes the termination from employment for a violation, instead of the current allowance of a suspension not to exceed six months. 

HB 2205 would exempt hearing oil used for residential purposes from the Motor Fuel Excise Tax. It was amended today to include propane used for the purposes of home heating. It was approved and will be sent to the Finance Committee.
