2017 House Bill 4236 ↩

Senate Roll Call 209: Passed

To pass and send back to the House a version of this budget that contains no actual appropriations, leaving it as a "template" or "placeholder." This is basically a procedural method of launching negotiations to work out the differences between the House and Senate budgets. The House has actually passed its version of the full budget in two "omnibus" bills, House Bills 4313 and 4323.
