HOUSE BILL: High-Speed Rail Act of 2018 (Passed)

[Sestak]

Where exactly is this "Washington, D.C." you speak of?

[Sestak]

Yes, but I am concerned about the last part. I don't think we can dictate what a lower level of government's tax policy is.

I have never seen a Texan as bloody centralist as you Transit.

Somewhere Jbrase is shedding tears.

Yeah, this is definitely a violation of regional rights.

Also, I feel like a tax "per item" is problematic.

[Sestak]

Alright then, if that's the course we want to take:

We can copy parts 2 and 3 into the other two bills as well.

However, this would also mean that we are committing to getting tax reform done this Congress.

[Sestak]

Any feedback on the above?

I thought that was dependent on another amendment in a different bill, which was being delayed while sponsorship was assumed, was that incorrect?

This is the basis one. The other two are the dependents.

[Sestak]

The amendment is friendly, though I will be adding to it.

Wait, to the stuff the amendment adds or just the bill at large?

[Sestak]

Object.

I think there was a misunderstanding here. CAF-12 won't end at the end of Congress; it'll continue to find the program's it does indefinitely. It's called that because it funds 12th congress bills. "Funded" here actually refers to all the appropriations being accounted for over a period of ten years (which, now that I think about it, should be specified; I'll prepare an amendment to do that), but I don't think this is needed. A CAF-13 vehicle would only be used if we wanted to do something similar to find several bills next Congress.

[Sestak]

With that, I motion we move on to a final vote on this bill.

24 hours to object.

[Sestak]

A final vote is now open. The question is on passage of HB 1208. Members, please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

[Sestak]

Aye.

[Sestak]

A simple majority being required, enough affirmative votes have been cast for passage . Members have 24 hours to vote or change their votes.
