Representative Foster moved that the House concur in the Senate                
amendment to CSHB 75(FIN) am(brf sup maj plfd), thus adopting SCS              
CSHB 75(FIN) am S(brf fld S), and recommended that the members                 
vote no.                                                                       
                                                                               
The question being:  Shall the House concur in the Senate amendment            
to CSHB 75(FIN) am(brf sup maj pfld)?  The roll was taken with the             
following result:                                                              
                                                                               
SCS CSHB 75(FIN) am S(brf fld S)

And so, the House failed to concur in the Senate amendment, thus               
failing to adopt SCS CSHB 75(FIN) am S(brf fld S).                             
                                                                               
The Chief Clerk was instructed to so notify the Senate and respectfully        
request it to recede.
