Committee hears Joint Fiscal Office: many S.1202 spending items contingent on budget decisions
Summary
Patrick Titterton of the Joint Fiscal Office told the Vermont House Committee on Commerce and Economic Development that most line‑item amounts in S.1202 are contingent and several requests in the bill are not funded in the Senate or the governor’s recommended budget.
The Vermont House Committee on Commerce and Economic Development on May 2, 2025, heard from Patrick Titterton of the Joint Fiscal Office about how appropriations listed in S.1202 are contingent on later budget decisions and that several items included in the bill are not funded in the Senate or the governor’s recommended budget.
Titterton said, “one thing that might be a little confusing is there isn't actually any money in this bill that you have,” noting the bill makes many proposed appropriations contingent on available funds and on appropriators' decisions. He walked the committee through an appendix showing what the governor recommended, what the House included, what the Senate budget contains and what the bill would have aspirationally funded.
