The House subcommittee gave a favorable report, 3-0, to House Bill 3869, which would codify a sales tax exemption for food manufacturing equipment previously included as a budget proviso.
The chair explained the measure was taken up last year and had been included in a budget proviso that the governor vetoed. The governor’s veto message requested the exemption be enacted through codified law rather than budget language; H.3869 codifies that exemption as regular statute to comply with the governor’s direction.
No public speakers were registered for this bill in subcommittee. A motion for passage was made and seconded (movers not specified in the subcommittee transcript); staff conducted a roll call: Representative Newton — Aye; Representative Hosey — Aye; Representative Stavrunakis — excused; Representative Taylor — Aye; Representative Crawford — excused. The subcommittee recorded a 3-0 favorable report and sent the bill to the full committee.
The committee record in the transcript does not show amendments or fiscal figures in the subcommittee hearing; the bill was advanced to full committee for consideration.
