Summary
Summary of roll-call outcomes recorded on the Joint Finance Appropriations Committee floor, including approved agency budget adjustments and trailer‑bill appropriations for commissioner salary CECs.
This is a concise roll-call summary of formal motions recorded during the Joint Finance Appropriations Committee meeting.
Passed motions (committee recommended due pass): - Department of Fish and Game FY2026 enhancements — Adopted. Tally recorded: Senate 9 ayes, 1 nay; House 7 ayes, 2 nays, 1 absent/excused; grand total 16 ayes, 3 nays, 1 absent/excused. Motion text as read into the record authorized $10,217,400 from dedicated funds and $7,967,500 from federal funds (total $18,184,900) for identified enhancements and included two pieces of reappropriation language.
- Department of Labor FY2026 fund adjustments — Adopted. Committee vote recorded; chair announced the motion will go forward with a due-pass recommendation (net increase $161,000; $5,000,000 added in dedicated funds, $4,839,000 reduced in federal funds). Members requested follow-up on federal grant timing.
- Appropriations tied to Senate Bill 1148 (commissioner CECs) — Three separate motions to provide additional salary/benefit appropriations for the Public Utilities Commission, the State Tax Commission and the Industrial Commission were each adopted by roll call. Tallies as recorded in committee: Public Utilities Commission appropriation — grand total 17 ayes (Senate 9–0–1 absent; House 8 ayes, 1 nay, 1 absent); State Tax Commission appropriation — recorded total 17 ayes, 1 nay, 2 absent/excused; Industrial Commission appropriation — recorded total 16 ayes and committee due-pass recommendation.
Other recorded outcomes: - Department of Labor report language (illegal immigration labor impact; state vs. federal disability determination costs) — The language passed the Senate roll call but did not receive majority support in the House (House recorded 4 ayes, 5 nays, 1 absent). Committee recorded that, because the House did not vote in the majority, the language “fails” in committee and will be sent to the House for further consideration.
- The committee approved inclusion of a federal funding restriction language for previously addressed Health & Welfare bills by unanimous consent; staff recorded no objections on the floor.
All roll-call tallies and motions are recorded on the committee transcript and on the committee packet for October 12; this summary reflects the chair’s announced outcomes during the meeting.
