House Roll Call 121: The amendment was not adopted

To stretch out over four years the $2,500 merit scholarship awards made to high school students who do well on the state MEAP test, rather than paying the amount all at once, beginning with the 2004 high school graduating class. The amendment would remove $60 million in tobacco lawsuit funding for merit scholarship awards from the 2003-2004 budget, per the governor's proposal.
