Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that adopts one-month “interim” school aid budget in the event legislators are not able to agree on a full-year budget before Oct. 1, 2009.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Passed in the Senate 21 to 16 (details)
To make appropriations for a one-month “interim” school aid budget in the event legislators are not able to resolve a large gap between how much they would like to spend and how much taxes, fees, and borrowed money they expect the state to take in during the fiscal year that begins on Oct. 1, 2009. This incorporates the spending caps agreed to by House Speaker Andy Dillon and Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop, which on an annual basis means a $218 cut in per pupil school aid, or around 3 percent.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
Substitute offered
by
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that appropriates money at the same level as the 2008-2009 budget, despite the fact that projected revenues will not cover that amount.

Amendment offered
by
To remove the $218 per pupil school aid reduction spending level (around 3 percent) in favor of the higher spending level originally passed by the House.
The amendment passed by voice vote
Passed in the House 67 to 41 (details)
To make appropriations for a one-month “interim” school aid budget for the fiscal year that begins on Oct. 1, 2009. This appropriates money at the same level as the 2008-2009 budget, despite the fact that projected revenues will not cover that amount. The higher spending level would require either using more federal "stimulus" money being reserved for next year's budget, or a tax increase. Reportedly, using more stimulus money this year means a $400 per pupil shortfall next year.
Amendment offered
by
To replace the $218 per pupil school aid reduction spending level (around 3 percent) originally passed by the Senate, thereby rejecting the higher spending level originally passed by the House.
The amendment passed 21 to 15 (details)
Passed in the Senate 21 to 15 (details)
To make appropriations for a one-month “interim” school aid budget for the fiscal year that begins on Oct. 1, 2009. This rejects the higher spending level approved by the House, and restores the $218 per pupil cut spending rate previously passed by the Senate.
Motion
by
To give the bill immediate effect, without which the budget will not go into effect until around next spring, essentially killing the bill. A two-thirds majority is required. Witholding immediate effect votes is a tool of the Senate minority for stopping time-sensitive bills that have passed.
The motion failed 21 to 15 (details)
