2007 House Bill 4354 ↩

Senate Roll Call 308: Passed

To send the Department of Natural Resources budget back to the House "stripped" of all actual appropriations, , and $100 “placeholders” in their place. These and some changes in the remaining “boilerplate” language prescribing policies the department must follow establish “points of difference” with the Senate version, the presence of which makes them subjects for negotiation between the bodies. This vote is basically a procedural method of launching negotiations to work out the differences between the House and Senate budgets.
