20/41

POLICY PATHCommittee Hearing

Bills are considered by committees only if put on theagenda by the chair.

Committee hearings may offer opportunities for supportersand opponents of legislation to have their voices heardabout the issue.

Bills can be changed through amendments. A substantialchange to a bill is rewritten as a Committee Substitute.

Bills are reported from committee with recommendationsIf the bill is not heard or it fails to receive a simple majority vote, itis said to die in committee (or report progress).

If the bill received a do pass motion and secured a majority voteof the committee members, the bill is printed and placed on thegeneral order for consideration by the full body of the chamber.

Bills assigned to the Appropriations Committee must beapproved by the subcommittee and the full committeebefore advancing.


21/41

POLICY PATHThird Reading

From committee, bills are placed on General Order and thenbrought up for a third reading for the full body of thechamber.

At this stage, bills are subject to further discussion, debate,and amendments. Substantial changes to a bill are written

as a Floor Substitute. House rules require that FloorSubstitutes be submitted 48 hours prior to a bill s hearing.

All bills advance if they receive a simple majority of votes.Emergency Clauses attached to bills and measures thatchange the constitution require 2/3 rds majority vote.

All bills have titles. If members Strike the Title, the billbecomes defective or crippled. This action slows downthe progress of a bill and ensures that it receives furtherconsideration. This mostly happens to bills containingfinancial impacts to the state or that are works in progress.

Bills that pass are transmitted to the other chamber.


22/41

POLICY PATHOpposite Chamber

Following successful passage of a bill in its chamber oforigin, it becomes engrossed, and sent to the oppositechamber.

Bills advance through the same process of First Reading,Second Reading, committee consideration, and Third

Reading as in the original chamber.There are some variations in the procedures used by each chamberas specified by the House and Senate Rules.

Bills can have their titles stricken during this process.

For bills that already have stricken titles, the second chamber mayStrike the Enacting Clause, which further ensures that the bill willnot advance without further consideration by both chambers.

If bills pass the opposite chamber unchanged , it becomesenrolled and is sent to the Governor for his/her action.

If bills are amended in any way, they are returned to the

original chamber for additional consideration.


23/41

POLICY PATHAfter Third Reading

Once the bill returns to the original chamber, the author can:Move to accept the amendments. If approved by a vote of thechamber, it is moved to Fourth Reading and Final Passage under thesame rules as Third Reading; ORMove to reject the amendments and send the bill to conferencecommittee.

Bills with stricken titles and/or enacting clauses must be sent to a

conference committee to advance further.

Conference CommitteeA bill must be assigned to a conference committee for it to advance.Committees contain at least three members assigned by House and Senateleadership.

Appropriations bills and bills with budgetary impacts may be referred tothe General Conference Committee on Appropriations (GCCA).Other than GCCA, few conference committees actually meet.Working with their colleagues, lobbyists, advocates, and state agencypersonnel, key leaders assigned to the conference committee work out thedetails of the bill.


24/41

POLICY PATHConference Committee Reports

A Conference Committee can:

Accept the amendments from both houses.Reject the amendments of both houses and propose a Conference CommitteeSubstitute.Conference Committee Substitutes can often bear little resemblance to theoriginal legislation proposed. They may contain language from bills that weredefeated or not heard earlier in session.

Action taken by a Conference Committee results in a Conference CommitteeReport (CCR). The report must gain a majority of signatures from membersassigned to the committee from each chamber.

CCRs must lay over in the House 36 hours before it can be considered.Exception: final days of Session or suspension of the rules.

CCRs are submitted to a vote of the originating chamber first. Reports can

be approved or rejected, but not amended.If a CCR is approved, it is then brought up for a vote on fourth and finalreading. If approved, the CCR is brought to the second chamber forapproval.If a CCR is rejected, another conference may be requested with the same ordifferent members appointed by the two chambers.


25/41

POLICY PATHAction by the Governor

An enrolled bill approved by both chambers is transmitted to theGovernor. The Governor can do the following:

Sign the bill into law within five days.

Allow the bill to become law by taking no action within five days when

the legislature is in session.

Veto the entire bill. The legislature can override the Governor by a2/3 rd majority vote (68 votes from the House and 32 from the Senate).

If the bill contains an emergency clause, the veto must be overridden

by a 3/4 th majority vote (76 votes from the House and 36 from the

Senate).

Line-item veto spending items in appropriations bills. Such vetoes are

similarly subject to being overridden by the legislature.

Following legislative adjournment, the Governor has fifteen days to

sign the bill, veto a bill, or exercise a pocket veto by taking no

action.

BUDGET PROCESSAppropriating Revenue

The largest fund subject to appropriations is the General RevenueFund.

Other major funds have restricted purposes.

The legislature cannot appropriate more than 95% of certifiedfunds for the upcoming year. This allows for a budgetarycushion in case of a revenue shortfall.

Some funds are not certified and the legislature can appropriate100% of the projected revenues.

During the fiscal year, if revenues meet expectations, the 5%reserve is deposited into the Cash Flow Reserve Fund and isavailable for appropriation.

BUDGET PROCESS


32/41

BUDGET PROCESSAppropriating Revenue

About 75% of all appropriations are from the General Revenue (GR)

FundUsually over 80%, but less in FY 10 due to federal money from

the stimulus bill (ARRA)1017 Education Reform Fund is 2nd largest state source 9%

BUDGET PROCESS

BUDGET PROCESSRainy Day Fund

General Revenue collections exceeding 100% of certification aredeposited in the Constitutional Reserve Fund (known as the RainyDay Fund), created in 1985.

During the fiscal year, if GR falls below 95% of the certifiedprojection, a budget shortfall is declared and across-the-board

cuts proportional to the shortfall become necessary.

Money in the Rainy Day Fund can be spent as follows:

Up to 3/8 th for a shortfall in current year General Revenue collections;

Up to 3/8th

if projected General Revenues collections for theupcoming year are below General Revenue collections for the currentfiscal year;

Up to 1/4 th upon declaration of an Emergency and legislativeapproval; and

Up to $10 million from the RDF on tax incentives for at-riskmanufacturers.
