Introduced
by
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 $19.6 million, $42.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively. As introduced the bill does not contain the final dollar amount, which will be determined in committee. Note: The Constitution prohibits state departments from spending in excess of their appropriated amount, but the legislature has never passed a specific law establishing penalties. The bill is tie-barred to Senate Bill 184, meaning it cannot become law unless that one does also. SB 184 would require the executive branch to report potential overspending by departments four months before the end of the fiscal year. Reportedly, the legislature had not been informed of the overspending in 2006 until after the gubernatorial election.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (S-1) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that contains the actual amount of the appropriation. See Senate-passed bill for details.

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 $19.6 million, $42.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively; the bill covers part of this with new money and part with fund transfers. The bill is tie-barred to Senate Bill 184, meaning it cannot become law unless that one does also. SB 184 would require the executive branch to report potential overspending by departments four months before the end of the fiscal year. Reportedly, the legislature had not been informed of the overspending in 2006 until after the gubernatorial election. The bill also would appropriate some new federal money that has become available for various departments.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (H-1) be adopted and that the bill then pass. H-1 does not include the tie-bar to Senate Bill 184.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that does not tie-bar this bill to Senate Bill 184, meaning that bill need not pass in order for this one to become law. SB 184 would require the executive branch to report potential overspending by departments four months before the end of the fiscal year.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Amendment offered
by
To tie bar this bill to Senate Bill 184, which would require the executive branch to report potential overspending by departments four months before the end of the fiscal year. A tie bar would prevent this bill from going into effect unless that one does also.

Passed in the House 57 to 48 (details)
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 $19.6 million, $42.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively; the bill covers part of this with new money and part with fund transfers. Note: The bill was not granted Immediate Effect (IE), which means it would not go into effect in time to allow the state to "close the books" on the previous fiscal year's finances. Republicans withheld the votes needed to reach the required two-thirds supermajority for IE, because they want the bill tie-barred to SB 184, which would require the executive branch to report potential overspending by departments four months before the end of the fiscal year.

Passed in the House 64 to 41 (details)
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.
Motion
by
To give the bill 'Immediate Effect' (IE), without which it would not go into effect until 2008. Republicans withheld the votes needed to reach the required two-thirds supermajority for IE, because they want the bill tie-barred to SB 184, which would require additional executive branch reporting about potential overspending by state departments. This was the last of several attempts to get IE through a record roll call vote. Following this vote, the House majority leadership 'failed to hear' motions for a record roll call vote on 'Immediate Effect,' and instead passed that on a voice vote (using a 'fast gavel' technique that is not uncommon in the House.) The bill now returns to the Senate, which had originally added the tie-bar to SB 184.
