Conference committee defers reentry-services bill, cites existing budget appropriation
Summary
The committee deferred House Bill 433 on April 21, 2025 after members noted a $4,000,000 appropriation for reentry services already exists in the budget and recommended the department report publicly rather than by statute.
The joint conference committee on April 21, 2025 deferred House Bill 433 (HD1, SD1), a measure relating to public safety and reentry services, after members said the appropriation was already included in the budget.
Speaker 2 told the committee that "$4,000,000 is appropriated for reentry services in the budget," and recommended deferring the bill because the appropriation already exists. Speaker 2 also said the committee could request a public report from the department (referred to in the transcript as DCR/DCCR) rather than embedding a reporting requirement in statute. The committee concurred and agreed to defer the bill.
No formal vote to pass the measure was recorded; the transcript records the committee agreeing to defer the item and proceed to other agenda items.
