House advances a batch of appropriations and adopts multiple supplemental bills; several items pulled for separate votes
The Arkansas House proceeded through a large batch of general appropriations and adopted multiple supplemental and reappropriation bills (including House Bills 1006, 1086, 1087, 1088, 1094 and others); members pulled several bills for individual votes and HB 1098 failed.
The full story
On the budget calendar Representative Jim Johnson presented a batch of general appropriation bills (listed on the yellow calendar from House Bill 1006 through House Bill 1078) and explained that higher education adjustments reflect performance-formula calculations. The House allowed members to request individual pulls from the batch; multiple members asked that specific bills be removed for separate consideration (examples: HB 1006, HB 1053, HB 1084, HB 1087, HB 1097, HB 1098).
