Ind. Law - More on: What about the new budget agreement? What will be in it? [Updated]
Updating this ILB entry from this morning, the Conference Committee Report (or draft #1 at least) has been posted online, within the last two hours. Access it here, at the bottom of the page. Both houses' versions should be the same. As soon as I have had a chance to review it, I will post more here.
[5:59 PM] - The Star reports the House has passed the budget. As the House was the hurdle, one can assume the Senate will follow suit and the bill will soon be on its way to the Governor.
Here are some things I've noticed in the new version:
Some "Augumentation" provison, p. 11 of PDF. Same "withholding allotment" powers on p. 105 of PDF.
One reference to "Notre Dame," as before.
94 references to "ombudsman."
P. 143, assessment of golf courses.
P. 341, operation of golf cart on highway
Twenty references to "Virtual charter schools"
CIB language beginning on p. 459 - terms of members.
P. 464, SECTION 505 -- "Effective Dates of HEA 1001(ss)-2009"
P. 465, SECTION 507 - 509 -- Interesting amendments that may impact the liability of railroad companies.
Very interesting language beginning at p. 469 of the PDFthat does not follow established procedure to amending and repealing the law -- SECTION 514 - 518 providing that specified changes made earlier in the report "shall not take effect" and telling the publisher of the Indiana Code what to do: i.e. "The publisher of the Indiana Code shall publish IC 20-28-11-3 as amended by this SECTION."
Keeps the court automated recordkeeping (JTAC) fee at the current $7 annually until 7-1-11, then $4 annually thereafter. P 389 of PDF, SECTION 394. See these ILB entries for background.
