The House voted to non-concur with the Senate version of a bill that would stop the practice of transfering money between political action committees (PAC) to hide campaign contributions.
The bill will now go to a conference committee of members of the House and Senate where they will either negotiate a bill they can live with it or kill the bill again.
The Senate passed a much revised version of Rep. Jeff McLaughlin's bill that removed legislative caucuses from being defined as a PAC.
McLaughlin said he's happy that the Senate finally passed a bill, he's just frustrated it wasn't the bill that unanimously passed the House.
"The senate disregarded the work of the House, and substituted our bill and been changed significantly," he said. "We have unanimously voted a very clean PAC-to-PAC prohibition bill in this chamber, and we want a clean bill."
Represenatives McLaughlin (D-Guntersville), Mac McCutcheon, R-Capshaw, and Rod Scott, D-Fairfield, will be a part of the conference committee.
