Thank you State Representatives @schuette_bill, John Roth, and @jaydeboyer1 for leading the tip credit legislation this year. Without your leadership on HB 4001, we wouldn’t have arrived at the bipartisan solution we have today.

Senator @singhsam94 and Chair @JeremyAllenMoss, because of your commitment to compromise, we now have a bill that will help protect our tips. Your efforts have made it possible to move legislation forward from the Senate to the House with a real finish line in sight.
