The Appropriations - Education and Environment Division voted to remove appropriations language from House Bill 1417 and then approved the bill as amended.
Committee members said the $310,000 general fund replacement for discontinued indigent defense revenues and a separate $1.5 million Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DOCR) budget item were already addressed elsewhere and need not remain in HB1417. The committee moved to remove Section 8, which eliminated the money from the bill; that motion was seconded and approved by roll call. The committee then voted to move HB1417 as amended.
No additional spending was added in the division on the bill; staff confirmed that the DOCR appropriation referenced in the fiscal note was not included in HB1417. The committee instructed staff to provide a clean bill and updated long sheet for further review.
