HB 118-RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TAX CREDIT  3:37:12 PM CO-CHAIR WAGONER announced consideration of HB 118. He recapped that during the previous hearing he had objected for discussion purposes to the bill itself and to Amendment 1 that Senator Wielechowski offered. Since then he agreed to a friendly amendment to Amendment 1 to change the effective date to 2018 instead of 2015. He asked for a motion. SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI moved to amend Amendment 1 on page 5, line 22 to change the effective date from 2015 to 2018. There were no objections and Amendment 1, as amended, was adopted. CO-CHAIR WAGONER removed his objection to the bill. CO-CHAIR PASKVAN moved to report CSHB 118(FIN), as amended, from committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). There were no objections and SCS CSHB(RES) moved from the Senate Resources Standing Committee. 3:39:43 PM Finding no other business to come before the committee, Co-Chair Wagoner adjourned the meeting at 3:39 p.m.
