The House voted around 12:15 p.m. to adhere to the budget version it passed yesterday, which means the House and Senate don’t agree on the $190 million proposal.

So the budget now goes back to the Senate. Last night, the Senate stripped off one House amendment and added three new ones. The House decided to stick to its original version.

The Democratic majority budget approved by the House cuts $65 million from human services and $34 million in education spending. Many other cuts came from state agencies.

It does not raise broad based taxes or take money from the rainy day fund.

The House put two amendments on the budget. One partially restores funding for the Office of Program Evaluation and Government Accountability and the other has to do with a hospital funding change.

The Senate passed three amendments that would:

1. Eliminate 13 positions in state government from these departments: Conservation, Economic and Community Development, Education, Environmental Protection, Governor’s Office, Legislature, Inland Fisheries, Labor and Professional and Financial Regulation.

2. Establish a Blue Ribbon Commission on Mental Health to assess the state’s mental health system.

3. There are several provisions in this amendment, sponsored by a bipartisan group of Senators.

The major provisions include fully restoring the Office of Program Evaluation and Government Accountability, establishing a household income limitation of $75,000 for nonelderly claimants in the “circuit breaker” tax refund program, and requiring legislators to pay 5 percent of their own health care premiums.

One of the more controversial provisions would further limit the number of childless adults eligible for Medicaid.

It’s unclear when the Senate will reconvene.
