The Senate Finance Committee voted to table Senate Bill 93 after sponsors and committee members said budget language already covers the requested funding for out‑of‑school time programming, including tutoring and transportation for youth.

Sponsor remarks during the hearing characterized the measure as legislative notification to committee members that the program described in SB93 is already accounted for in the budget. After asking for public testimony and receiving no opposition, a committee member moved to table the bill and another seconded the motion. The committee recorded a roll‑call and tabled the measure.

Why it matters: The committee’s decision to table SB93 means the specific bill will not proceed because appropriations or program language were carried in the enacted budget, per sponsors’ statements. The topic—supports for after‑school programming and transportation—remains a policy priority but was addressed via the budget process rather than separate statute this session.

Action and vote
- Motion: Move to table Senate Bill 93 (motion and second made on the record; mover/second not specified in transcript).

Committee discussion noted the bill was unnecessary because “the money is already in the budget,” and senators used the short hearing to allow public comment though none opposed the measure.
