We began the day at 10:00 AM on the House Floor for possible action on bills. After Caucusing for 90 minutes, we ran three bills and broke for lunch. These bills were …
Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 1306 passed 73 to 14 with 10 excused.
Substitute House Bill 1866 passed 84 to 3 with 10 excused.
House Bill 2068 passed 80 to 7 with 10 excused.
At 2:30 PM, we started debate on final passage of the Transportation Tax (Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1954). The 10-1/2 cent per gallon gas tax increase FAILED 48 to 42 with 7 excused for lack of a Constitutional Majority. Seven Democrats voted no and after breaking for caucus one of them made a motion to reconsider the bill tomorrow. As I like to say,"Nothing is dead in Olympia until the session ends.
After the motion of reconsideration was sustained, we broke for the day.
