Summary
During a short Appropriations Conference Committee on Health and Human Services meeting, the House presenter outlined which Senate budget and project rows the House will accept to match prior Senate offers; committee leadership said outstanding budget project and proviso items were "bumped," and the committee adjourned without objection.
The Appropriations Conference Committee on Health and Human Services met and heard a House offer that accepts specific rows from the Senate's budget and project offers and confirms that outstanding implementing and conforming items have been deferred.
“The house makes an offer and provides that in back of the billing, which additionally, the house accepts all items where the senate made offers to match the house in their budget senate offer number 2 and project senate offer number 2,” the Representative said while presenting the offer, reading a list of accepted line items from both the Senate budget and Senate project offers.
The Representative noted timing for offers: “I know we said 05:00 deadlines for final offers, but we're operating on central time.”
Committee leadership summarized the procedural outcome: “All outstanding budget project, proviso, back of the bill, implementing and conforming items are now officially bumped,” the Chair said, indicating those items were deferred from immediate action.
