Senate and Assembly Committees Decide on Fiscal Measures; Prepare for Final Floor Votes
Sep 5, 2017
Last Friday, the members of the Appropriations Committees of both houses decided the fate of measures that require significant funding or appropriations. They approved many measures including some with amendments and now move to the Senate and Assembly floors, and listed below as “Pass.” Others were “Held” on “Suspense,” meaning they are tabled and ineligible for further action this session.
