After several hours of debate, the House passed a bill that would prevent the economic stimulus check that Alabamians began getting in the mail this month.
In a 101-0 the House passed the bill sponsored by Rep. Terry Spicer, D-Elba. The bill is designed to keep the state from applying income taxes to the rebate checks people are receiving from the government. Though some say it might be an unnecessary measure because the federal government has said that the rebate is not taxable.
A Senate version of the bill passed last week, but is likely unconstitutional because all revenue measures must originate in the House.
