Rep. Bob Nonini, R-Coeur d'Alene, asked unanimous consent that the House concur in the amendments the Senate placed on HB 96, the ethanol exemption bill. "The Senate has put a lot of work into these amendments," Nonini said. "I give them credit for a lot of work and the time they spent on these amendments." He noted that the first raises Idaho's gas tax, three cents on July 1 and another three cents a gallon a year later. The second raises DMV fees. No one objected, and the House moved on. But that's not the end of it; the amended bill still comes up for debate and passage - or other action - in the House.
