Committee approves extension and referral for bill that extends 2023 appropriation through June 30, 2026
Summary
House File 361 (DE2) would allow a 2023 appropriation to remain available through June 30, 2026, with an effective date retroactive to July 1, 2024. The committee adopted the DE2 and referred the bill to Ways and Means.
Chair Cleburne moved House File 361 and presented a DE2 that alters the bill's operating dates and effective date to allow a 2023 appropriation to be used until June 30, 2026 and to make the bill retroactively effective to July 1, 2024.
The chair said the change appears on line 2.27 (extension to June 30, 2026) and the effective date language is on line 3.9 (retroactive to July 1, 2024) to permit reimbursement of administrative expenses that the agency previously incurred. Committee members adopted the DE2 by voice vote and the author asked that House File 361 as amended be re‑referred to Ways and Means; the committee approved the referral.
Committee discussion was brief and no public testimony was taken during the time allocated for the bill. The DE2 was adopted and the bill will proceed to Ways and Means for fiscal consideration.
Ending
House File 361 as amended was moved to Ways and Means; committee staff will coordinate the agency reimbursement details in the normal fiscal review process.
