June 27th - 2013 Second Special Legislative Session

After a prolonged break after the passage of the Gas Tax, we’re back on the House Floor to consider passage of several bills. Not surprisingly, the first bill we ran (1971) is another tax increase … (sigh).

Second Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 1971 passed 77 to 15 with 5 excused.
Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5891 passed 90 to 2 with 5 excused.
Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5912 passed 92 to 0 with 5 excused.

After breaking for caucus, we voted on Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1955 (Transportation Projects funded through the gas tax) which passed 52 to 40 with 5 excused.

After breaking for dinner, we were given a list of 11 bills to caucus on and consider on the House Floor. These bills were …

House Bill 1450 passed 81 to 8 with 8 excused.
Second Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5157 passed 89 to 0 with 8 excused.

After a 13 hours day, we’re headed home for the night.
