House Roll Call 690: Passed

The House-Senate conference report for the Fiscal Year 2008-2009 Department of Community Health budget. This would appropriate $12.533 billion in gross spending, compared to $12.048 billion, which was the FY 2007-2008 amount enrolled in 2007. Of this, $7.225 billion is federal money, compared to the FY 2007-2008 amount of $6.708 billion, and $5.323 billion is from state tax and other revenues, compared to $5.300 billion enrolled the previous year. Among other things, the budget does not fund a proposal for "mental health courts," and would not eliminate Medicaid coverage for 19- and 20-year-olds living in low income households.
