Intent language that the legislature reevaluate
the appropriation limit in three years
Section 3: Page 2, line 14
Statutory Appropriation Limit:
Appropriation Limit excludes appropriations:
Section 4: Page 2, lines 23 - 30
Requires the Governor to submit a report with his
operating budget with the calculation of the
appropriation limit. The report must be updated
with the supplemental appropriation bill and
budget amendments
Section 6: Page 3, lines 1 - 5
Applicability language that the appropriation
limit and Governor's report applies to Fiscal
Year 2020
Section 7: Page 3, lines 6 - 11
Transition language that the calculation of the
appropriation limit is not adjusted for inflation
and may not exceed $4,100,000,000 for FY2020
Co-Chair MacKinnon WITHDREW the OBJECTION. There being NO
OBJECTION, the proposed committee substitute was adopted.
Vice-Chair Bishop discussed the fiscal note.
Co-Chair MacKinnon OPENED and CLOSED public testimony.
Senator Micciche thanked the committee and felt that there
had been healthy discussion about tying in an appropriation
limit to the annual budgeting process.
Co-Chair MacKinnon surmised that there was an idea of tying
a calculation, so the governor must disclose at the point
of the budget introduction, supplemental, and amendments.
Co-Chair MacKinnon remarked that there was a concern about
state disasters. She asked for further comment.
Vice-Chair Bishop replied that there was a three-year look-
back in Section 1.
Co-Chair MacKinnon announced that the three-year look-back
was necessary to be sure that the statutory appropriation
limit functioned as intended by the legislature.
Vice-Chair Bishop MOVED to REPORT CS SB 196 (FIN) from
committee with individual recommendations and accompanying
fiscal note.
There being NO OBJECTION, it was so ordered.
CSSB 196(FIN) was REPORTED out of committee with a "do
pass" recommendation and with one previously published
fiscal note: FN1 (GOV/VARIOUS).
