The appropriation conference committee on transportation, tourism and economic development accepted the House's first offer on budget items but the Senate listed numerous exceptions and left several General Revenue and Department of Transportation project lines unresolved.
Representative Shoaff presented the House's offer number one on the budget, General Revenue projects, provisos, back-of-bill items and the implementing bill, saying, "The house is pleased to bring you offer number 1 on budget, GR projects, proviso, back of bill, and the implementing bill. I believe this will bring closure to the majority of the issues on the table." Senator DeSigley responded that the Senate was "pleased to accept your offer on the budget with the following exceptions" and then read a list of budget line numbers and proviso/back-of-bill items the Senate considered unresolved.
The Senate identified unresolved budget lines (as read into the record) including, among others, lines 14, 17, 18, 20, 24, 34, 38, 39, 40, 61, 68, 85, 91'94, 99, 123, 13139, 14447, 166, 199, 202, 203, 205, 207a, 208, and 210; it also said General Revenue projects "remain unresolved as related to the budget spreadsheet." The Senate additionally noted that "DOT projects have yet to be resolved, though the project allocation has... been agreed to previously." The Senate read a series of proviso/back-of-bill implementing-bill references, as recorded in the transcript.
After the list was read, a representative moved "that the staff make any technical corrections necessary to implement these decisions." The motion was adopted "without objection." The committee called for public comment and, seeing none, concluded the meeting after Representative LaMarca moved to adjourn; that motion was also adopted "without objection."
