17. SB 4 Motion to Suspend Rules

Motion to Suspend the regular order of business to take up for consideration CSSB 4; April 21, 2015; Journal Page 1017; 19 Yeas, 11 Nays

YCT Yea. This bill would have enabled School Choice while using Insurance Premium or Franchise Tax credits to incentivize its funding. YCT supports School Choice and supports the Motion to Suspend the regular order of business to take up and consider the bill as opposed to the 3rd reading of the bill. It remained unclear as to whether the bill itself would potentially institutionalize the Franchise Tax, making it more difficult to repeal or phase out, which YCT would be against.
