House adopts conference report on capital construction and state bonding bill, orders delivery to governor
Summary
The House adopted the committee-of-conference report on H.494 (capital construction and bonding), approved compromise funding adjustments, and ordered the bill delivered to the governor forthwith.
The House adopted the report of the committee of conference on House Bill 494, the capital construction and state bonding bill, and on the motion ordered the bill delivered to the governor forthwith.
Floor presenters said the conference report reconciled differences with the Senate on several project funding items and moved some previously proposed bonded infrastructure funding into general fund appropriations. House members noted negotiated adjustments—reducing one municipality-targeted line from $3 million to $2.5 million in general fund support, clarifying that funds should go to municipalities that own or hold long-term leases for the infrastructure, and preserving other House funding positions following negotiation. The conference committee reported unanimous support from its six members.
After adoption of the conference report, a member moved and the House approved delivery of H.494 to the governor without delay.
Speakers on the floor included the member from Springfield who presented the conference report and other members who explained funding reallocations. Committees reported the conference committee had voted unanimously to support the report.
