Substitute offered by Rep. Laura Cox (R-19)

To replace the previous version of the bill with one that contains no appropriations; see the House-passed bill description for an explanation.

The substitute passed by voice vote

Passed in the House 63 to 44 (details)

To send the bill back to the Senate "stripped" of all actual appropriations, leaving it as a "template" or "placeholder." This vote is basically a procedural method of launching negotiations to work out the differences between the House and Senate budgets. The House has actually passed its version of the full budget in two "omnibus" bills, House Bills 4313 and 4323.
