2007 Senate Bill 229

House Roll Call 394: The substitute was adopted

To replace the previous version of the bill with one that spends approximately the same as the previous fiscal year, and also would change the way the non-Constitutionally mandated portion of revenue sharing is distributed by adopting a per-capita distribution formula. The substitute would also tie-bar the bill to House Bill 4505, meaning this bill cannot become law unless that one does also. HB 4505 would require the expiration date of a drivers license issued to a non-citizen to be the same as the date on which his or her presence in the U.S. becomes illegal. Note: Most representatives voting on this subsititute knew that it would be replaced by the Tobocman substitute that essentially "zeroed out" the budget to move the process forward.
