Bill > HR174

This resolution suspends certain limitations on the conference committee's jurisdiction for Senate Bill 5, which relates to supplemental appropriations for disaster relief and preparedness. Specifically, the resolution allows the conference committee to add new text to Section 4 of the bill that was not included in either the House or Senate versions, including contingent appropriations of $2,594,265 from the economic stabilization fund and $2,484,726 from the general revenue fund to the Department of State Health Services for campground and youth camp safety. The resolution also permits the committee to change text that was not previously in disagreement, such as modifying the bill's effective date to make it immediately effective. Additionally, the resolution authorizes the department to adjust license fees to recover the appropriation costs, use $500,000 in capital budget authority, and employ 16 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees during the fiscal biennium beginning September 1, 2025. These changes are contingent on the enactment of Senate Bill 1 or similar legislation related to campground and youth camp safety.
