Legislative Conferencing 2017 Begins


Good afternoon,                             

The conference process will be starting today. Each sub-committee ( Higher Ed., PREK-12, Corrections, Health, etc.) will be meeting providing a 1 hour notice. The Senate will bring forward their offer #1 at the first meeting. Then the House will bring forward a counter offer at the next meeting. As agreement is reached each item dropped out of the discussion. Any items on which they cannot agree will be bumped to the Appropriations chairs at noon on Saturday, April 29. Those items which the Appropriations chairs cannot agree to will then be bumped to the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate.

The final budget must be dropped on the members’ desks 72 hours prior to the vote on the final budget.
