Good morning,
We are in the home stretch for the 2016 session. Both
chambers are frantically trying to get bills passed. Many will die from the lack of action.
This afternoon around 4:00 p.m. each chamber will take up
the budget bills. Once those bills are passed by both the House and the Senate,
it will be sent to the Governor. The Governor has line item veto authority over
the budget presented to him for his signature. There is no doubt that he will
use that authority on this budget.
As Education bills are signed by the Governor, I will
present them to you. It is my plan to compile a summary of all the Education
bills which would impact secondary and postsecondary programs.
Fresen’s last amendment to 7029 ( find below) would provide new
language to the majority of the bill, which is what the Senate did to the House
version of the bill before they sent it back.
