In an evening meeting the House passed Senate Bill 3003 which makes supplementary appropriation to Department of Commerce, Development Office, Broadband Deployment Fund, without amendment. The bill is now effective at passage.
The House amended House Bill 302 which ordered a one-time bonus be paid to certain full-time public employees, as well as Senate Bill 3004 which expired funds from the Lottery Commission, Video Lottery Income Fund, and made supplementary appropriation from General Revenue to various accounts.
An Executive Message was delivered to the Senate stating that the House amendments on these bills took the proposed legislation out of the scope of the 3rd Extraordinary Session’s intention.
Shortly following the receipt of this message the Senate adjourned Sine Die without acting on either bill. The House followed suit, adjourning Sine Die moments later.
