2001 House Bill 4373 ↩

Senate Roll Call 689: Passed

To make $1.019 billion in gross supplemental appropriations for the current fiscal year, but cut $68 million in previous appropriations from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues). Of this, $677 million are federal funds, including new federal unemployment insurance benefit money, with the remainder from local matching funds and state restricted fund dollars, including withdrawals 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. The Senate version replaces the House-passed version, and inserts many of the provisions from the Senate-passed version of Senate Bill 287 into this bill.
