SENATE FLOOR ACTION - HOUSE TAXATION AND REVENUE COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR HOUSE BILL 153

The General Obligation Bond Projects bill, including $19 million for library bond B, was passed by the Senate yesterday on a vote of 37 -0. This amount is double the $9.5 million in the 2020 library bond. The bill now goes to the Governor.

HB 2 GENERAL APPROPRIATION ACT OF 2022

Yesterday the House of Representatives failed to concur in the Senate amendments to the bill, and the Senate failed to recede from its amendments. The bill now goes to a Conference Committee where the two chambers will attempt to resolve the differences between the two versions of the bill.

COMMITTEE HEARING - SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR SENATE BILL 212

The Senate Finance Committee heard SB 212 yesterday, which appropriates $827.7 million for capital projects statewide. There was little debate, and the Committee gave the bill a "do-pass" recommendation on a unanimous vote.
