Senate Finance Chairman Dean Cameron, R-Rupert, has given the introduction to SB 1222, the omnibus bill that covers the final JFAC actions, from statewide personnel cuts to spending of federal stimulus money. It’s a big, complex bill that also provides various tools to the governor if state revenues continue to fall after lawmakers leave town, and transfers $30 million from the state’s budget stabilization fund to help balance next year’s budget. Cameron noted that there’s a non-severability clause - if any portion of the bill is somehow overturned or defeated, “the entire bill is lost,” he told the Senate. “This omnibus bill is pretty tightly wrapped up and has a nice little bow on it,” Cameron said, at which point the Senate went at ease.
