CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 2006(FIN)
"An Act making and amending appropriations and
reappropriations; and providing for an effective date."
Co-Chair Williams provided members with proposed committee
substitute, work draft 22-LS1824\J, 5/18/02 (copy on file).
Co-Chair Mulder MOVED to ADOPT work draft 22-LS1824\J,
5/18/02. There being NO OBJECTION, it was so ordered.
Representative John Davies recognized the work that went
into the committee substitute, but noted that he had some
concerns with a couple of small items. The Low Income
Weatherization Program was reduced by $1 million dollars,
which was transferred to the Department of Transportation
and Public Facilities. He noted that he supports additional
funding for the Department of Transportation and Public
Facilities, but he is concerned with the reduction to the
weatherization program, which is important to improve the
energy efficiency of homes. He also expressed concern that
funds were not included for the Diamond Courthouse fuel
tank. He appreciated the increase in section 93, which would
increase school funding by $6 million dollars.
Co-Chair Mulder MOVED to report HCS SB 2006 (FIN) out of
Committee. There being NO OBJECTION, it was so ordered.
HCS CSSB 2006 (FIN) was REPORTED out of Committee with a "do
pass" recommendation.
SENATE BILL NO. 2007 am(brf sup maj fld)
"An Act making supplemental appropriations from the
general fund; and providing for an effective date."
Co-Chair Williams provided members with proposed committee
substitute, work draft 22-LS1820\C, 5/18/02 (copy on file).
Representative Davies OBJECTED for the purpose of
discussion.
Co-Chair Mulder explained that SB 2007 contained the
original Senate CBR vote. The Senate determined that an
appropriation was needed as well as a three-quarter-vote
provision. Since the three-quarter-vote provision failed in
the Senate, it was not reflected in the title. This required
a title change. Reductions were also made to the
appropriations because all of the items are included in the
supplemental within the capital budget. The proposed
committee substitute contains: $125 thousand dollars from
the CBR to the Department of Revenue for investment costs,
and $100 thousand dollars for supplemental funding for the
Department of Public Safety to pay for increased fuel costs.
Representative John Davies observed that since the CBR vote
failed that, the only valid CBR vote would be the one in the
capital budget. Co-Chair Mulder clarified that the vote
could be valid in either bill. Representative Davies noted
that the vote is needed on the same vehicle on both sides.
Co-Chair Mulder responded that either bill could be returned
to the other body for concurrence.
Representative Davies continued his OBJECTION.
A roll call vote was taken on the motion to adopt, work
draft 22-LS1820\C, 5/18/02.
IN FAVOR: Whitaker, Bunde, Foster, Harris, Hudson,
Lancaster, Mulder, Williams
OPPOSED: Moses, Davies
Representative Croft was absent from the vote.
The MOTION PASSED (8-2).
Co-Chair Mulder MOVED to report HCS CSSB 2007 (FIN) out of
Committee with the accompanying fiscal note. Representative
John Davies OBJECTED. He stated that he was concerned that
the amount for the fuel adjustment might rise precipitously.
A roll call vote was taken on the motion.
IN FAVOR: Whitaker, Bunde, Foster, Harris, Hudson,
Lancaster, Mulder, Williams
OPPOSED: Moses, Davies
Representative Croft was absent from the vote.
The MOTION PASSED (8-2).
Co-Chair Mulder clarified that title resolutions would be
needed for SB 2006 and SB 2007.
Co-Chair Mulder MOVED to ADOPT title resolutions for SB 2006
and SB 2007. There being NO OBJECTION, it was moved from
Committee.
