Rules Committee unanimously reports concurrence package of appropriation bills for several state agencies
Summary
The Rules Committee reported a package of concurrence bills—House Bills 2405, 2410 and 2411—by a unanimous 33-0 vote; the package includes appropriations for the Office of Small Business Advocate, Public Utility Commission and several statewide agencies including the Attorney General and Pennsylvania State Police.
The chair moved to report a package of concurrence bills to the House that included appropriations measures for multiple statewide offices and agencies.
The package, as announced by the chair, included House Bill 2405 (Printer's No. 3489), an appropriation for the Office of Small Business Advocate; House Bill 2410 (Printer's No. 3490), an appropriation for the Public Utility Commission; and House Bill 2411 (Printer's No. 3491), appropriations for the Attorney General, Department of Revenue, Pennsylvania State Police and the Gaming Control Board.
There was little discussion recorded on the package. A committee member said, "Again, Republicans will support the package." The secretary reported that all Democrats joined Republicans in voting aye, and the committee approved the package by a recorded vote of 33 to 0.
Why it matters: the measures forwarded by concurrence would provide appropriations affecting multiple state agencies and offices; the transcript does not include dollar amounts or program-level funding breakdowns.
The committee then adjourned with no further business recorded on the transcript.
