[Richard Mason]

 Yes, it has to go to have the agreement of the Conference committee before it goes into HB2.

 Dick,
I used track changes to edit this very important explanation.  However, I am confused by the last two paragraphs: The Senatealways amends the budget bill (HB2) that comes over from the House. So, it hasto be sent back to the House floor for concurrence. That is usually no problem.

In the past,  there has been a realdifference between the House and Senate tax packages. That means it has to goto a Conference Committee made up of members of each chamber appointed by theleadership.




But, the last paragraph under New Tax Bills says: That overall tax package will then go to Senate Finance and they will have the final say on whether to include it in HB2 that comes over from the House.

So, does the tax package go to the Conference Committee before it is added to HB 2?  




Thanks,

Barbara
