When JFAC meets in the morning, it’ll take up new versions of the 25 vetoed budget bills, according to Senate Finance Chairman Dean Cameron, along with action to “fill the holes” created by Senate amendments to HB 256 and HB 262, on public school funding. The House introduced a new bill today that seeks to undo some of those Senate changes; asked about that, Cameron said, “They don’t have anything better to do, I guess.” The House agreed this morning by unanimous consent to concur in the Senate amendments to the two bills, though it hasn’t yet given the amended bills final passage. “Based on what we’ve done, we’ve got to fund it,” Cameron said.
