Passed in the House 56 to 51 (details)
The House version of the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs budget for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, 2021. This would authorize $90.5 million in gross spending, or three months worth of the total for the year, of which $29.0 million is federal money.
Referred to the Committee of the Whole
Passed in the Senate 20 to 16 (details)
To send the bill back to the House "stripped" of all actual appropriations except $100 “placeholders.” This is part of a process for reconciling the House and Senate-passed department budgets for the next fiscal year.
Failed in the House 1 to 108 (details)
To concur with the Senate-passed version of the bill.
