To clarify, Article II (HHS) appropriation items that were in #HB145/#SB8 is not in the cmte substitute as adopted, but now in the smaller bill #HB161. Same is true for Article III (#txed/#txhighered) appropriation items, which is now in the smaller bill #HB160. #txlege #txbudget
The $2.02B ARPA spending bill for #txhighered & TRS CARE COVID gap, #HB160, is adopted by House Appropriations Cmte by a vote of 23Y/3N (Schaefer, Toth, Ja. Johnson) & 1 absence. #txlege #txbudget #txed
The $2.6B ARPA spending bill for Health & Human Services, #HB161, is adopted by House Appropriations Cmte by a vote of 26 ayes & 1 absence. #txlege #txbudget capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/873/bi…
Will update what the final appropriation amounts are in these 3 bills (#SB8 House Cmte Sub, #HB160, #HB161) when the text is out on TLO. #txlege #txbudget
