Summary
The Senate Appropriations and Revenue Committee voted to approve House Bill 545, a routine claims bill to pay outstanding obligations, by a unanimous roll call.
The Kentucky Senate Appropriations and Revenue Committee voted to give House Bill 545 a favorable report, approving a claims bill that the committee described as routine and previously considered in past sessions.
The measure was introduced for consideration and described as paying obligations owed by the Commonwealth. Representative Tim Truitt, identified himself for the record and said the bill was "a very simple claims bill" and added, "we like to pay our bills in Kentucky."
