Committee concurs with Senate amendment to HB 1681 after appropriation amount reduced
Summary
The committee concurred with a Senate amendment to House Bill 1681 that reduced the proposed grant appropriation: the House sponsor said the Senate changed the plan from $50 million per year for 10 years to $75 million over three years; the committee voted to concur with the amendment.
Representative Dan Vaught (District 87) told the committee that senators who reviewed House Bill 1681 tightened the appropriation language, reducing the original House proposal of up to $50,000,000 per year for 10 years to a Senate plan of $75,000,000 distributed over three years. Vaught said the change made the measure more palatable to senators and asked for a favorable vote.
The committee voted to concur with Senate amendment number 1 on HB 1681 and issued a due-pass recommendation. The transcript records a voice vote in favor; no roll-call tally is provided.
