I'm a bit confused as to what this is.

1. Is this a tax paid to the Mideast government in addition to the federal tax?
2. Who's paying the tax, and how is it collected?
3. I'm opposed to sections 4 and 5 - if you start giving tax credits for people who are still responsible for adding CO2, you lose the effectiveness.
4. The credit here should be available to people other than just making $60,000.
5. Why would we automatically repeal this if the federal version was repealed?

Yeah, that's fine.

I'm still confused on question #5.  What do you mean by the President determining the amount of CO2 each year?

Wouldn't the amount of CO2 emitted vary from power plant to power plant?

This is now brought to a final vote.  Members will vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.  This will be a 48-hour vote.

Voting is now closed.  The AYEs are 4, and the NAYs are 0, with 1 not voting.  The AYEs have it, and the bill has passed.  The bill is now passed onto the Governor for his signature or veto.
