Appropriations subcommittee adopts broad slate of amendments and positive bill recommendations
Summary
The FW&M Appropriations subcommittee voted through hundreds of amendments and issued positive recommendations on dozens of bills, approving large grant pools, local earmarks, and several major statewide allocations before adjourning.
The FW&M Appropriations subcommittee convened with a quorum and moved rapidly through a long list of budget amendments and bill recommendations, adopting dozens of earmarks and grant pools across education, public safety, culture and economic development. Chairman Stevens opened the session and repeatedly called for voice votes as the committee approved items ranging from small local projects to multi-million-dollar statewide appropriations.
Chairman Stevens said, "We have a quorum and we're ready to conduct business," and presided as members moved and seconded scores of amendments. The committee completed a broad calendar sweep and issued positive recommendations on many Senate bills, with multiple items noted as "under the sweeper." The meeting concluded after the chair accepted a motion to adjourn.
