NAIOPWA Legislative Session Report - Week 3

Krystelle Purkey and Riley Benge, State Lobbyists

Week three marked the final full week before the House of Origin policy committee cutoff, driving a sharp increase in hearings, negotiations, and amendments as lawmakers worked to move policy bills across the first big checkpoint.

Looking ahead, next week brings two critical deadlines: the House of Origin policy committee cutoff on Wednesday, February 4, followed closely by the fiscal committee cutoff on Saturday, February 7. As a result, our Government Affairs team will be working through the weekend to engage on priority legislation and respond quickly as bills advance.

Finally, rumors continue to circulate that the long-anticipated “millionaires tax” proposal may officially drop next week. We will be tracking developments closely given the potential implications for investment, capital formation, and economic activity statewide.

We will continue to keep members informed as the Legislature enters this high-stakes phase of the session.
