The Senate Appropriations Committee further amended SB 1100 today with another amendment sponsored by Senator Scarnati. Senator Scarnati explained that the impact fee would constitute the equivalent of a 3% severance tax. The amendment also contains a production factor. Further, the amendment contains environmental safeguards and local control language that the Senator said had the support of local government groups.
The amendment and bill passed on mostly partisan lines with Senator Wozniak voting with the Republicans.
