Senate sends bottle bill back to House after amendments
Senate overwhelmingly rejected House amendments to the bottle bill and sends the measure back with concerns over timing and earmarked funds. Sen. John Scott warned that moving the effective date to March 1 could cause industry and legislative headaches, while the House provision diverting deposits to alcoholism programs was deemed vague and potentially unworkable. Senate members argued over the bill’s flaws and discussed possible conference action to salvage the measure.
