2004 House Bill 5632 ↩
Senate Roll Call 421:
The substitute was adopted
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that revises the distribution of the new tax revenue. As introduced, this would have used all of the new revenue for Medicaid until Oct. 1, 2004. After that, only 75 percent would go to Medicaid. Around half of the balance would go to the state general fund to pay for other government spending, and the other half would be used for subsidies to companies in the biotechnology business. However, this formula was replaced by the Swiatalski amendment. See Senate-passed version for details.
