Summary

The Senate Committee on Institutions indicated support May 2 for an amendment to the capital bill that would add $250,000 to the Department of Housing and Community Development for "Hope World Recovery" to establish a new recovery residence; committee agreed by nods to report the amendment to the full Senate.

For the record, Senator Bob Norris of Franklin County read a proposed committee report language on May 2 that would amend the capital bill to provide $250,000 to the Department of Housing and Community Development for "Hope World Recovery" to establish a new recovery residence in a location cited in the amendment.

Norris said the funding had been placed into the bill via appropriations and described the proposed allocation as a competitive award to be administered by the department. After brief discussion and review of the spreadsheet that accompanies the committee report, members indicated support for reporting the amendment to the full Senate by voice and nods; the chair recorded "four nods" in favor.

Norris recited the amendment language on the floor of the committee: "to the Department of Housing and Community Development for Hope World Recovery to establish a new recovery residence in Salzam's with cost of $250,000." Committee members noted the item originated in appropriations and that language and the spreadsheet would be finalized for the committee report.

Next steps

Committee members indicated the amendment will be included in the committee’s report to the Senate and asked staff to finalize the spreadsheet and report language. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote; committee support was recorded by nod/voice and consensus during the meeting.
