Summary
The committee introduced a general‑fund transfer to the IT capital subaccount to fund the previously approved CBMS replacement. Andrew Maclear presented the bill; the motion to introduce passed 6–0 and sponsors were assigned for House and Senate.
Andrew Maclear, JBC staff, presented the supplemental IT capital transfer bill, telling the committee it would move general fund dollars to the IT capital subaccount of the Capital Construction Fund to fund the previously decided replacement of the state's CBMS system. "This final bill that we're presenting for you today ... is the transfer bill from the general fund to the IT capital subaccount ... to fund CBMS replacement," he said.
A member moved to introduce the bill and to give staff permission to make technical adjustments. The committee approved introduction on a recorded 6–0 vote. Committee members identified House and Senate sponsors: in the House, Sirota and Taggart; in the Senate, Bridges and Kirkmeyer. Members agreed it is customary for committee members to join as cosponsors on supplementals, and staff offered to send past vote records to help members decide whether to be listed as cosponsors.
The bill will start in the House and staff said sponsorship choices can be finalized on Monday.
