Motion Made on Quality Jobs and Enhanced Enterprise Zones

May 9, 2007 - Senator John Griesheimer made a motion that was approved by the full Senate, to send HB 327, the Quality Jobs and Enhanced Enterprise Zone bill, back to conference. This demonstrates some progress on the legislation that had been stalled since last week.

Even though the motion is essentially the same motion that was rejected by the House last week, the House will again have an opportunity to accept the invitation to further meet and discuss the bill. We will continue to work with the House and Senate conferees to try to work out differences so the bill may be passed by the House and Senate before the 2007 Legislative Session ends on May 18.
