2001 House Bill 4373 ↩

House Roll Call 933: Passed

To concur with the Senate-passed version of the bill, but with new amendments added. The bill would make $1.019 billion in gross supplemental appropriations for the current fiscal year, and cut $67.4 million in previous appropriations from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues). Of the gross amount, $677 million is from federal funds, including new federal unemployment insurance benefit money, with the remainder from local matching funds and state restricted fund dollars, including $203 million from a state Medicaid Benefits Trust Fund. The money is distributed amongst a number of state departments and programs, including job training programs, but most goes to cover increased Medicaid caseloads.
