House concurs with Senate changes to school-construction aid working group (H.871)
Summary
The House suspended rules and concurred in the Senate’s amendments to H.871, which updates the state aid to school construction program and modifies working-group scope, membership and meeting limits; the House Education Committee recommended concurrence.
The House took up House Bill 871 and, after a brief explanation from the member from Cornwall, concurred in the Senate’s proposal of amendment by voice vote.
Cornwall said the Senate’s strike-all amendment made modest additions to the bill, including directing the working group to consider historic preservation and renewable-energy planning, narrowing the number of working‑group meetings (from 10 to 6 with an option for additional meetings if authorized), and eliminating a $15,000 travel budget for the working group.
Outcome: The House concurred in the Senate amendment; the file will proceed with the amended language.
