Panel backs scaled back industrial energy tax plan

The vote was 19 to 1 with Burleson voting no. The panel cut proposed rates and added exemptions while keeping a sizable revenue forecast and potential energy savings uncertain. A separate weatherization bill advanced in the House Banking Committee, but did not reach the Commerce energy subcommittee’s broader aims.
