Where it stands
House: INTERIM STUDY
Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.
A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.
In practice this often ends a bill's progress for the term.

Committee — REFER FOR INTERIM STUDY
This bill creates a new credit against the Business Profits Tax (BPT) for the value of qualified off-site infrastructure improvements constructed or funded by business organizations that directly benefit the public. These improvements need municipal approval. The committee believes this bill has merit, however, on the fiscal impact statement, the Department of Revenue Administration (DRA) indicated the following: the bill does not define further on what improvements would be considered “qualified” and instructs the DRA to adopt rules to the documentation and verification of eligible improvements and calculation of the credit. The department would not be able to do this without additional legislative guidance as agencies may only make rules to implement and not as a substitute for legislation. The bill does not indicate a taxable period for which the credit could be first claimed. The credit has no caps, so the revenue decrease is indeterminable. Vote 19-0.
