Legislature amends ARPA spending language for youth and senior programs; amendment recorded with limited support
Summary
Intro. 287 (Res. 232) authorizes ARPA appropriations and intermunicipal agreements; on Aug. 13, 2024 the Legislature recorded an amendment to Section 7 concerning aggregate funding for youth and senior congregate programming (transcript shows formatting error in amount) and recorded six votes in favor of the amendment.
The Legislature considered Intro. No. 287 (24-0260 / Res. 232), an appropriation and interfund transfer package using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to support programs including youth and senior congregate programming. A motion to amend Section 7 of Intro. No. 287 was moved on the floor to change the aggregate authorized amount for intermunicipal youth and senior programming agreements.
The transcript records the amended language as containing a formatting anomaly: '$6,000,0008,000,000' rather than a single clear dollar amount. The Journal records that six named legislators voted in the positive on the amendment; committee reports and the main Res. 232 are recorded in the Journal. The transcript does not clearly resolve the final numeric amount after the amendment; the Journal lists committee endorsements and the floor entry for Res. 232.
