2007 Senate Bill 166 ↩

House Roll Call 25: Passed

To provide supplemental funding in the current fiscal year (FY 2006-2007) to cover overspending in the previous fiscal year by the Departments of Corrections, Human Services (Welfare), and State Police. The three departments overspent the amount appropriated for them by the legislature by approximately $69 million. The bill covers part of this with new money and part with fund transfers; it also adds new money for other items including airport projects and prisoner health care. The bill is not tie-barred to SB 184, which requires additional reporting about potential overspending by state departments.
