Chair (spoken by Speaker 1) explained the statewide budget context: no new statewide funds and a difficult year driven by national events; the Executive Appropriations Committee (EAC) asked appropriations subcommittees to assemble 5% reduction recommendations and return lists; the committee will separate cuts that would preserve program function from cuts that would likely damage programs. Chair also set decorum rules for the public and said some meetings will include limited public comment.
