Committee corrects library code citation in language adjustment
Summary
The committee accepted corrected language to restore a dropped subsection and ensure the appropriation points to the intended code section (Children's School and Library Protection Act). The motion passed after a roll call.
The Joint Finance‑Appropriations Committee accepted a language correction for the Idaho Commission for Libraries on March 24.
Budget staff explained a drafting error removed a lettered subsection during the prior drafting process. The correction restores the dropped subsection so the appropriation points to the intended code provision within the Children's School and Library Protection Act.
Representative Carlson requested unanimous consent to accept the language; Senator Wintrow objected and a formal motion to accept the language was moved and seconded. The motion passed by roll call with a combined committee total of 18 ayes and 2 nays, and the language will carry a due‑pass recommendation.
Ending The correction is procedural and ensures the bill language references the correct statutory subsection for the Commission for Libraries appropriation.
