House Ways and Means committee sends HB 3,843 codification bill forward after unanimous vote
Summary
The House Ways and Means Committee voted 22-0 to report House Bill 3,843, a measure to codify longstanding budget provisos into permanent law, after adopting a subcommittee amendment removing one Department of Health and Human Services proviso.
The House Ways and Means Committee reported House Bill 3,843 favorably by voice vote and a roll call tally of 22-0 on the committee floor. The bill, which would codify longstanding budget provisos into permanent law, was presented and explained to the committee before the roll call.
Representative Moss, who explained the bill to the committee, said the measure “codifies provisos that have been in the budget for at least 16 years” and is the same bill that passed the House unanimously in the previous session but did not receive a Senate hearing. Moss said the subcommittee’s amendment removes a single proviso for the Department of Health and Human Services that the agency said it no longer needed.
The committee adopted the subcommittee amendment by voice vote before taking the required roll call on the amended bill. After the roll call, the chairman announced the committee’s favorable report and the 22-0 tally. The committee did not record any no votes or abstentions on the final disposition reported on the floor.
The vote advances HB 3,843 from the Ways and Means Committee toward the House floor for further consideration as part of the budget and codification process.
