At a glance: H.849 and H.850 — technical corrections and an education-finance fix

H.849, an act making technical corrections for the 2024 legislative session, was read for third time and passed by voice vote with no floor amendments.

H.850, "an act relating to transitioning education financing to the new system for pupil weighting," was taken up for immediate consideration after the Senate suspended its rules. After committee reports and floor debate the Senate passed H.850 by voice vote and approved motions to message the House and deliver the bill to the governor forthwith. The Appropriations report included an appropriation of $500,000 to the Secretary of State to help cover election costs if school districts must rewarn or reschedule votes.
