The Capitol Report 3/13/17: Floor debate begins on state's FY18 operating budget

The Capitol Report - March 13, 2017
Today is the 56th day of the legislative session.
Last Friday, following a week of debate and hundreds of proposed amendments, the House Finance Committee finished its work on the state's FY18 operating budget. This afternoon, the House will begin full floor debate on the bills (HB 57/HB 59). A final vote on the bills is several days away as many expect the House Minority will take another run at many of the same amendments that were voted down by the Finance Committee last week.
