March 10, 2008 - The Missouri House today took up the House omnibus economic development bill, HB 2058, sponsored by Rep. David Pearce (R-121, Warrensburg). After explaining the bill, Rep. Pearce laid the bill over. It will be taken up another day, probably soon.
Check back here often for updates and please let your representatives know how you feel about HB 2058 that boosts the Quality Jobs program limit by $20 million, increases the Enhanced Enterprise Zone program limit by $10 million, increases the Development Tax Credit from $4 million to $6 million, extends the Quality Jobs retention program to 2013, and various other changes (see earlier posts below for more information).
The Senate bill is awaiting referral to a House committee.
