Summary

The House Budget Committee adopted a committee substitute to House Bill 2014 (supplemental budget) after debate and votes on several amendments; the substitute passed in committee by roll call, 24 ayes, 0 no, 1 present. Committee debate covered fund swaps, a $50,000 contingency reduction and technical corrections to restore language from the TAFP/TFP budget.

The House Budget Committee voted to adopt a committee substitute for House Bill 2014, the supplemental appropriation package, after debating and voting on multiple amendments.

Chair Deaton guided the committee through a tracking document and said the substitute restores technical language that the governor's bill left out. Committee members questioned and amended various items, including private‑gift accounting and changes related to the state fair and contingency funds.

Representative Seinhoff offered a fund‑swap amendment (House Amendment 2) intended to shift $150,000 for the Great American State Fair from general revenue to the Ag Business Development Fund and the Division of Tourism fund. After discussion about unobligated balances and departmental impacts, the amendment failed on a voice vote.

Representative Fogel moved House Amendment 3 to remove the governor‑recommended $50,000 increase split between the House and Senate contingent expense accounts; she said the contingency balances available made the additional appropriation unnecessary. The committee adopted Amendment 3 by voice vote.

Chair Deaton then moved to merge adopted committee amendments into a new substitute and put the substitute up for a committee do‑pass vote. On the roll call the clerk recorded 24 ayes, 0 no, and 1 present; the committee reported the House Committee substitute for HB 2014 do pass.

Why it matters: The committee action advances the supplemental package to future floor consideration with several technical corrections and one committee‑adopted reduction to contingent expenses. Committee members asked for additional documentation on specific items (e.g., contingency outlays and the source of some governor amendments) before floor action.
