A
Revenue
committee
here
in
the
2022
session
of
the
general
assembly,
mr
secretary,
please
call
the
roll.
A
Well,
quorum
or
dually
conducted
our
constituted
conduct
business.
We
have
one
item
before
us
today
and
I'm
actually
going
to
speak
to
it.
As
I
think
representative
weber
may
have
a
conflict,
it
is
house
bill
144.
First,
there
is
a
committee
substitute
to
house
bill
144.
Could
I
have
a
motion
to
adopt
the
sub
by
senator
meredith
second
by
senator
castle
and
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
the
eyes?
Have
it
all
right
now,
the
only
so.
This
is
a
bill
that
already
cleared
through
economic
development
and
workforce.
A
Basically,
it
freezes
the
employer
rates
for
one
more
year.
Those
rates
you'll
recall,
were
frozen
as
we
were
trying
to
help
employers
get
their
way
through
covid
last
year,
but
in
order
to
freeze
the
rates,
there's
necessarily
an
appropriation
that
has
to
occur,
it's
the
intent
of
the
general
assembly
to
appropriate
those
through
arpa
funds.
However,
there
has
been
subsequent
guidance
from
when
the
bill
first
passed
that
in
essence,
if
those
funds
aren't
encumbered
by
the
first
of
april,
they
could
conceivably
not
be
an
eligible
expense
moving
forward.
A
So
if
you'll
turn
to
page
12
of
the
bill
and
just
look
down
in
sections
four,
five
and
six,
that
is
the
committee
substitute,
so
all
we're
doing
here
is
appropriating
242
million
six
hundred
twenty
eight
thousand
nine
hundred
dollars
in
the
current
fiscal
year
and
adding
a
state
of
emergency
and
what
this
will
do.
Is
it
backfills
those
contributions
that
otherwise
would
have
necessarily
happened?
Had
the
employer
rate
been
allowed
to
rise
per
the
schedules
and
statutes
with
that,
I
will
gladly
entertain
any
questions
from
the
committee.
A
B
A
We
do
have
a
title
amendment
at
this
point.
Can
I
have
a
motion
on
the
title
amendment
by
senator
meredith
second,
by
senator
castle
and
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
the
eyes?
Have
it
seeing
no
other
business
to
come
before
the
committee?
We.
