the committee had adopted all of the fiscal notes that were
the same in the House and the Senate. He pointed out that
some of the notes could not be included in Section 2 of HB
266 because of different circumstances. He explained that
in the case of HB 278, there was no agreement between the
House and the Senate and that what those fiscal notes would
look like was unknown currently; there was also money for
HB 278 outside of the fiscal note that would be potentially
incorporated in SB 119. He reported that HB 316 contained a
supplemental appropriation for workmen's compensation to
the Department of Labor and Workforce Development. He
stated that HB 385 was in the capital budget because it
also required language for the super majority vote due to
the use of the Constitutional Budget Reserve. He added that

and that SB 195 had a capital appropriation to post-
secondary education for $460,000.
