Committee accepts standard federal-funding restriction language for Health & Welfare budget
Summary
Legislative services corrected and the committee accepted standard language clarifying federal funding restrictions for Department of Health & Welfare program budgets; no substantive change to the underlying bill was reported.
Legislative Services staff presented standard federal-funding restriction language for the Department of Health and Welfare's "other program" budget and the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee accepted the language by unanimous consent.
Alex Williamson, budget and policy analyst with the Legislative Services Office, said the language is a routine correction that had been omitted from a Tuesday packet and that it mirrors federal funding restriction language the committee has used elsewhere. Williamson said "there's no change to what was included in the original bill; I just forgot to put it in the packet on Tuesday." Representative Price requested unanimous consent to accept the language, and the committee granted the request with no objections.
The language will be included in the bill packet and forwarded with the committee's recommendation.
