The House Human Resources Committee voted 8-0 to approve amendments to House Bill 10 12 and then voted 8-0 to recommend a "due pass as amended," moving the measure on for further legislative consideration.

Committee members discussed how salary underfunding figures should be reported in the bill text. Keith, a staff member, said the committee's prior spreadsheet showed a $20,000,150 figure because it reflected the net difference between the agency's detailed pay plan and an added amount. Alan, a staff member involved in the budget review, told the committee, "So if you wanna do the underfunding to the total Armstrong recommendation, then we should show the 30,000,000." The committee asked staff to update the column to show $30,000,000 to reflect the full Armstrong recommendation, which included an additional $9,800,000 beyond the agency's detailed pay plan.

Committee members also flagged a potential citation error in section 31 (page 18) where two Century Code chapter references ("02/2001" and "02/2004") were noted; staff said they would make a slight correction after checking the reference. The committee chair said that once the committee votes the bill out, the text will go back to legislative counsel for those changes and that staff expected to be ready for full committee action quickly. Alan told the chair, "if there's going to changes that'll take, you know, hour, we should be ready."

Representative O'Brien moved the amendment (listed as 25.0156 0.01016 in the record), seconded by Vice Chairman Steeman; that motion carried on an 8-0 roll call. Representative O'Brien then moved that the committee give House Bill 10 12 a "due pass as amended," seconded by Representative Mitscog; that motion also passed 8-0. The chair and several members thanked staff for their work on the budget language during the meeting.
