beginning at 12:27 pm.  Rep. Small's comments are garbled, but it is clear that the committee tabled the bill at Rep. Lente's request. Committee Chair Patricia Lundstrom noted that there was money in HB 2, the General Appropriations Act for the purpose of tribal library construction.

HB 2 Section (111) PUBLIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT   $2 million "for planning, design and construction of tribal libraries through fiscal year 2024. Any unexpended balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2024 shall revert to the general fund...." HB 2 has passed the House, and is now in the Senate Finance Committee. HB 2 also appropriates $10 million for the Rural Libraries Endowment Fund.

There is a detailed analysis of the status of tribal libraries in the Fiscal Impact Report on HB 89.
