House advances FY1990–91 Appropriations Act totaling $3.217 billion; increases for corrections and health recognized
Summary
Representative Brown presented House Bill 443 (Appropriations Act) allocating $3.217 billion for FY1990–91, citing notable increases in corrections (+22.17%) and health/social services (over $50M) to match new federal dollars; the House approved the bill and referred it to the Senate.
Representative Brown presented House Bill 443, the Appropriations Act for fiscal year 1990–91, summarizing the total package and major program increases. "We have before you the Appropriations Act for fiscal year 19 90 91... It'll appropriate $3,217,246,684," Brown said, then walked colleagues through principal funding sources including general fund, uniform school fund, transportation, federal funds and bonding.
Brown highlighted programmatic increases: corrections would rise about 22.17%, driven in part by opening a regional prison in Gunnison; health and social services would see an increase of more than $50 million largely tied to matching federal funds. Higher education was listed with an approximate 8% increase. Brown framed the package as a responsible effort to address court-mandated reapportionment and federal funding flows.
The House closed debate and voted on the bill; the reading clerk reported that House Bill 443 received 54 affirmative and 15 negative votes and was passed and referred to the Senate for further action.
