AMENDED ANALYSIS
This bill lapses certain sums appropriated to the legislative branch and the judicial branch to the general fund on or before June 30, 2011 pursuant to required operating budget adjustments.
The bill consolidates the amount to be reduced by the department of health and human services, as required under HB 1-A of the 2009 legislative session, for the biennium instead of for each fiscal year.
The bill also clarifies the effect of the judicial branch furlough plan on judges who take unpaid furlough time.
