The House of Representatives acted Wednesday to pass 16 measures intended to correct technical issues in the Corporate Income Tax (CIT) passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor in May. Identical legislative packages were introduced in the House and Senate, with the Chambers both addressing a portion.
The Senate Committee on Finance acted in similar fashion, passing all 32 bills to the floor. History may have been made, however, as the panel approved all measures in a single vote – adjourning after less than 20 minutes.
Democrats and some interest groups have voiced concern over the measures and the quick pace in which the bills have moved. All votes were largely along partisan lines.
