with the footer "FY16 Fiscal Note Section of HB72, Sec. 2"

associated with the bills listed. Additionally, if a bill
listed failed to pass, its substance failed to be
incorporated in some other measure, or it was vetoed by the
governor, the appropriations associated with the bill would
be reduced.
Chair Neuman WITHDREW his OBJECTION.
Representative Gara OBJECTED. He did not believe all of the
committee members had the document referenced by Vice-Chair
Kelly. He asked for verification that the action would
adopt fiscal notes that had passed and that fiscal notes in
any vetoed bills would disappear.
