The House Appropriations Human Resources Division convened on February 18, 2025, at 8:24 AM, with Chairman Nelson leading the meeting. The roll call confirmed a quorum, with all key members present, including Vice Chairman Steaming and Representatives Anderson, Berg, O'Brien, and Wagner.

The agenda for the meeting included a review of the schedule for both today and the following day. Chairman Nelson announced that Jessica would provide information regarding truancy issues, which had been discussed in a previous meeting. This information is expected to aid in coordinating efforts related to Bill 1129, which was referenced but not fully detailed during the discussion.

Due to time constraints, with the committee scheduled to transition into a full committee meeting at 10 AM, Chairman Nelson called for a recess. He encouraged committee members to prepare any amendments they were considering for the human services budget and to communicate these to him ahead of time. This advance notice would facilitate the process of compiling the amendments, which is planned for discussion on Thursday morning.

The meeting concluded with a reminder for members to return at 8:30 AM the following day for Jessica's presentation and further discussions on amendments. No questions were raised before the recess was called.
