Budget Land
Last week was action-packed with House and Senate budgets dropping last Monday as we were preparing our Week 11 episode. Since then, both budgets have been heard and exec’d out of their fiscal committees, and the Senate budget bill SB 5167 was passed off the Senate and passed off the House floor as this episode was being prepared for publication. The House introduced a “striking amendment” that removed the contents of the Senate bill and replaced it with the contents of the House bill HB 1198. This conflict will form the basis of the remaining negotiations, which will probably mostly take place out of public view. See our comprehensive show notes for some great comparison tables provided by education advocacy groups.
Bill Land
Our two remaining education funding bills - SB 5192 for Materials, Supplies, and Operating Costs and SB 5263 for Special Education - are still waiting for a vote in the House Appropriations committee.
