What changed in the latest version
65 added · 98 removedPlain-language change summary
The updated version of House Bill 1367 includes a new note indicating where to find the legislative status and history of the bill once it is signed by the governor. Additionally, it clarifies that starting in the fiscal year of July 1, 2021, any federal reimbursement exceeding fifty percent of public expenditures can be retained by the state department if a certification is submitted. This matters because it allows the state to keep more federal funding for public services, which could help enhance budget resources and support various programs.
