Conference committee on H.141 agrees on most budget adjustments, recesses for GA program presentation
Summary
Members of the conference committee on H.141, the Budget Adjustment Act for fiscal year 2025, agreed to most outstanding adjustments — including changes affecting the Human Rights Commission, the attorney general's office and the treasurer's security agreement cap — and recessed to receive an administration presentation on the GA program.
Members of the conference committee on H.141, the Budget Adjustment Act for fiscal year 2025, said they had closed out nearly all outstanding items and reached agreement on several line items, then recessed to receive a presentation from the administration on the GA program.
Committee members told the group they accepted the House counterproposal on certain personnel lines that reduces funding to reflect the likely timing of hires. The committee also discussed updated figures supplied by JFO and agreed on changes affecting the Human Rights Commission and the attorney general's office; the committee referenced amounts of 397 for the Human Rights Commission and 278 for the attorney general's office as reflected on the updated spreadsheet and noted a combined total shown as $44.05 (units not specified in the transcript).
Members also discussed a change to treasurer-related bond redemptions. The committee agreed to handle one bond-redemption item in fiscal year 2026 rather than the current fiscal year and accepted the other party's position for simplicity so both items would be addressed in the Budget Adjustment Act. Separately, the committee agreed to reduce the treasurer's security-agreement cap from 6,000,000 to 2,000,000 as shown on the draft text the group reviewed.
Throughout the discussion, members noted they received a new spreadsheet from JFO and expected the next sheet to display corrected, finalized numbers for the items under negotiation. The committee left a single remaining difference unresolved and said staff would take the proposed wording back for further consideration and confirm the precise dollar figure on the next worksheet.
The conference committee agreed it would hear a presentation from the administration on the GA program so all conferees could ask questions before deciding whether to include the proposal in the conference report. The group recessed until 10:45 a.m. to receive that presentation and indicated that, if no changes were needed after JFO updated figures, members would stay to sign the conference report rather than scheduling an additional meeting later in the day.
The transcript records agreement and scheduling decisions but does not record a formal roll-call vote on any item during the provided segment.
