"An Act making appropriations for the operating and capital

HB 103 and HB 104 were HELD in Committee for further
consideration.
Chair Mulder noted that the purpose of the meeting was to allow
the Legislative Finance Division to produce motion sheets for the
Department of Health and Social Services.
Senator Donley MOVED to Restore the distribution of general
purpose funds as allocated by the Senate Finance Committee before
the committee voted to substitute Constitutional Budget Reserve
funds for general purpose funds.
David Teal, Director, Legislative Finance Division spoke to the
motion. He acknowledged that the motion is not required, but
emphasized that without it there would be 160 motions in the
Department of Health and Social Services' budget without the
change. One hundred of the motions would be due to the failure of
the Constitutional Budget Reserve vote.
In response to a question by Representative Davies, Mr. Teal
clarified that the Senate position would be zero without the
amendment due to the failure of the CBR vote. The house number
would be the only number available. The change would allow the
committee to focus on the real changes between the bodies.
Senator Hoffman observed that the motion is for discussion only
and questioned if the Senate numbers would remain zero. Mr. Teal
acknowledged that the Senate numbers would remain zero. The bill
could not be changed.
Representative Davies questioned if the Senate numbers could be
achieved. Mr. Teal observed that the Senate numbers could be
reached, but that it would be a violation of Uniform Rule 42. He
added that Uniform Rule 42 has been consistently broken by past
conference committees.
There being NO OBJECTION, the motion was adopted.
HB 103 and HB 104 were HELD in Committee for further
consideration.

The meeting was adjourned at 3:09 p.m.
