Committee approves amended Racing Commission budget bill, moves internships and copier items to one-time
Summary
The Appropriations government operations section approved Senate Bill 2023 as amended, adopting Senate changes and shifting certain line items to one-time funding.
The government operations section of the House Appropriations Committee approved Senate Bill 2023 as amended, moving multiple line items to one-time funding and adopting the Senate’s changes where appropriate.
Representative Bosch moved the amendment to the bill based on the committee worksheet; Representative Meyer seconded. Committee members discussed a $20,000 internship program the Senate had included and agreed to make it one-time funding. The committee also noted a copier replacement line; members observed the copier appeared costly but that a two-year lease might justify the expense.
Following approval of the amendment, Representative Bosch moved Senate Bill 2023 as amended and Representative Meyer seconded. The clerk took the roll and the committee voted unanimously to carry the motions; recorded yes votes included Chairman Munson, Vice Chair Brandenburg, Representative Bosch, Representative Fisher, Representative Kempenick, Representative Meyer, and Representative Pyle.
Committee members said the principal difference between the Senate version and the committee amendment was making the $20,000 internship and copier replacement one-time expenditures. The bill was carried out of the section with Representative Bosch as the carrier.
The committee then proceeded to other items on the agenda.
