Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1907 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TAXATION,"

The purpose of this bill is to temporarily suspend the income tax net operating loss carryback deduction for losses generated in 2009 and 2010.

Your Committee has amended this bill by, among other things:

(2) Inserting provisions that remove the refunding feature of the Capital Goods Excise Tax Credit from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2015;
(3) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2020, to encourage further discussion; and
(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive changes for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1907, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1907, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
