Committee gives favorable report to HB487, a supplemental opioid-settlement appropriations bill
Summary
A committee voted to give HB487 a favorable report after a presentation that described the bill as a supplemental appropriations measure using opioid settlement monies; the transcript records no dollar amounts and no roll-call tally was provided.
A legislative panel gave a favorable report to HB487, a supplemental appropriations bill that would distribute opioid settlement funds, after a presentation that said the monies were allocated “in accordance with the feelings of the body of that group.” The presenter described the measure as a supplemental appropriation drawn from opioid funds but did not state the total amount or program-by-program breakdown.
The presentation was followed by a long roll call; at the end of the roll the chair stated the bill was "given a favorable report." The transcript does not include a recorded vote tally or the names of members voting yes, no or abstaining.
The presenter noted the bill reflects prior discussions among the group and said the distribution aligns with the committee's consensus. No detailed funding allocations, effective dates or implementing language were read aloud during the recorded remarks. The transcript does not show any substantive opposition or requests for amendment during the floor discussion.
Next steps announced by the chair included advancing the committee’s calendar and coordinating on the upcoming appropriation and budget matters next week. The committee did not provide additional fiscal detail on HB487 in the recorded remarks.
