Committee moves HB 380, a CPI‑based increase for residential schools funding
Summary
The House Education Committee on April 1 moved HB 380 out of committee. Rep. Hemshutt described the bill as a CPI‑based statutory funding increase (2015–2025) for residential schools intended to replace temporary one‑time funding and address a decade of inflation.
Rep. Story introduced House Bill 380 and asked Rep. Hemshutt to summarize the measure. Rep. Hemshutt said HB 380 is a straightforward CPI adjustment that applies inflation from 2015 to 2025 to residential schools’ statutory funding. She said one‑time funds provided a temporary bridge but that a statutory increase is needed to cover rising costs after ten years of inflation.
Rep. Divert moved to report HB 380 from the House Education Committee with attached fiscal notes and individual recommendations and authorized Legislative Legal to make necessary technical and conforming changes. The committee recorded no objections and the motion carried.
No amendments were filed before the deadline. The committee’s action was procedural; no roll‑call vote was recorded in the transcript. Legislative Legal was authorized to make technical and conforming edits prior to reporting.
