Where it stands

House: PASSED/ADOPTED WITH AMENDMENT · Senate: LAID ON TABLE

Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.

A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.

A tabled bill can be taken back up later, but dies at the end of the session if it is not.

Committee — OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT

Rep. Rick Ladd

As introduced, this bill proposed the creation of a fund dedicated to consolidating school facilities that would have been a separate appropriation from school building aid. The amendment deletes all language and costs as related to a new dedicated fund for school consolidation. The narrowly constructed amendment supports the 10-year school facilities plan currently in law. The Department of Education has requested that each district shall, not may, review and update the district’s anticipated school capital improvement plan on a 2-year recurring basis or as needed. The department will then use this information to better plan, prioritize, and project new anticipated capital construction, building consolidation, and renovation expenditures relative to the state building aid program. Vote 17-0.
