Budget Progress

The House voted today at 12:45 p.m. to pass the conference report on the budget.

While this is not the final step, significant progress was made today. With both the Senate and the House approving this version of the budget it now goes to the Governor's office. He will have slightly over a week to review the report and make recommendations before it comes back before the members of the General Assembly to get final approval.

Once the General Assembly approves the budget with the Governor's amendments or vetoes the budget for fiscal year 2006-2008 will take effect.

At this point it is believed that this can be done before the close of the current fiscal year.
