House Rejects Senate Tax Bill, Adjourns Until May 15

The House of Delgates met twice on Friday.

The House met at 11 a.m. to introduce House Bill 105, which would limit the number of days members of the Legislature could receive compensation during an extended and extraordinary session.

The House met again at 5:30 p.m. when it took up a bill the Senate passed, Senate Bill 1004, relating to taxation. SB1004 is similar to one the House rejected on first reading yesterday. A motion was made to re-commit the bill to the Finance Committee, but the motion was rejected 34-58. The bill was ultimately rejected on first reading by a vote of 59-34.

The House is adjourned until 11 a.m. May 15.
