Legislative Update - March 6, 2018


Good morning,
HB 7055 has passed both the House and the Senate headed to the Governor’s office for his action. This is a train of many policy pieces. I will send you an analysis later today.
There have been on budget conference meetings on PreK-12 and Higher Education. This is pushing the deadline for the Legislature to end on time. The final proposed budget needs provided to all legislators 72 hours before the final vote.

House Higher Ed First Offer -- Performance Funding is back in at $4.5 million



Last night during the first Higher Ed. conference meeting the  House picked up the Senate position of Performance funding and the $4.5 million is back in. It also appears it put another $5.5 million in based on the formula. They did not discuss the proviso language, so I do not know if the House agreed to the Senate language. The only project they both agreed on was the Lotus House Women’s Shelter.


There have been no Education conference meetings noticed today.
