Committee advances House Bill 1648 strike‑all as transfer vehicle, no new dollars added
Summary
The Appropriations Committee approved a strike‑all for House Bill 1648 that carries a reverse repealer and the code sections needed to assemble the budget; presenters said it reallocates authority between funds but does not add new money.
The Appropriations Committee moved a strike‑all for House Bill 1648 on a voice vote, advancing the measure as a transfer vehicle for budget language.
The chair described HB 1648 as "just another version of the transfer bill, keeping it alive," saying the strike‑all contains a reverse repealer and brings forward the code sections needed to help put the budget together. The presenter emphasized that the measure contains no new funding and offered to yield for questions.
A motion to adopt the strike call was made (the transcript records "Senator Debar, make that motion") and approved by voice vote: "All in favor say I... The eyes have it." Committee members did not request further debate on the measure at this meeting.
The committee did not record a roll‑call tally in the transcript; the approval was by voice vote. The bill was placed on the committee's calendar for further floor consideration with the strike‑all in place.
