Rev & Tax, after half-hour debate, agrees to introduce IJOBS ag bill

The House Rev & Tax Committee has voted 10-5 against a motion to reject another piece of legislative Democrats’ IJOBS 2.0 package, and instead voted to introduce the bill, which proposes an investment tax credit for new agricultural processing facilities. The measure was proposed by Reps. Roy Lacey, D-Pocatello, and Donna Pence, D-Gooding; the committee debated for half an hour before agreeing to introduce it. It can now be scheduled for a full hearing.
