Some changes on the list of bills come this week. HB 914 which would allow declared recurring surplus dollars to be used to finance the NOW waiver for community-based health care, which would improve the financial footing of the program, could also have the effect of not be used to work down the NOW waiver backlog. Therefore, it is being removed from the good category. For the same reason, the same is being done to SB 647. Removed from the bad category are HB 5 and HB 1011, which during committee hearings were amended into benign forms, the former having removed its provision to create paid state holidays, the latter removing provisions that would give convicted felons special access to voting registration.
THIS WEEK FOR THE GOOD: HB 790 passed the Senate; HB 960 passed the Senate; HB 1122 passed Senate committee; HB 1372 with minor amendments passed the House; SB 133 was sent to the governor.
THIS WEEK FOR THE BAD: HB 384 was involuntarily deferred by committee; HB 939 passed Senate committee.
