SCS CSHB 51(FIN) am S "An Act making appropriations for the operating and capital expenses of the state's integrated comprehensive mental health program; and providing for an effective date." HB 50 and HB 51 were Moved from Committee Chair Representative Mulder noted that the Legislative Finance Division detected a couple of technical errors, which were corrected. He reviewed the corrections. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Chair Representative Mulder noted that the appropriation for item 5, Division of Occupational Licensing was moved from the back section to the front section. The Committee deleted $5,053.2 million general fund program receipts (GFPR) from the back section, which reduced GFPR funding to less than zero. The Legislative Finance Division revised the action to delete $5,001.6 million dollars, which removed all GFPR spending from the component. The corresponding front section language, which limits GFPR expenditures, remains at the $5,053.2 million dollar amount approved by the Committee. FISCAL NOTE Co-Chair Mulder referred to the fiscal note for HB 40. He observed that the Conference Committee approved the following items in the fiscal note for HB 40: Department of Community and Regional Affairs Delete Office of Commission 2 positions and $158.6 thousand general funds Delete Administrative Services component 3 positions and $196.9 thousand general fund dollars Energy Operations component Replace $200 general funds with $200 federal receipts Department of Commerce and Economic Development ADD Unallocated component in Executive Administration Dev. $175.0 thousand capital funds contractual Chair Representative Mulder noted that the $175 thousand dollars in contractual were identified as capital funds for moving related costs. There was no specific fund source. The expenditures identified as capital could be classified as operating general funds. Capital expenditures may not be appropriated under the bill title or section 44 of HB 40. This appropriation was reclassified from capital to general funds. The reclassification of the contractual line is a technical change, consistent with the intent of the Committee. In response to a question by Representative Grussendorf, Representative Therriault noted funding for additional fiscal notes has been added to the capital budget. An additional $56 thousand dollars was added for HB 199 to cover the first year costs of the court system. Additional funding was added for PCE legislation. Co-Chair Mulder noted that there are no further items before the Conference Committee. HB 50 and HB 51 were MOVED from Committee. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 10:30 a.m. CC50 1 5/18/99
