Today the House Bill 1001 Conference Committee Report became public.  This is the House and Senate combined budget based on weeks of negotiations and is the budget the House and Senate will vote on one last time.  There will be no changes to the language moving forward and this is considered the unofficial final budget for the Session.

Included in the budget for INARF legislative priorities are the following: 

• First Steps – received a budget appropriation in the amount of $18,000,000 per year.

​We are very disappointed with the outcome but we appreciate all the outreach our Members have done with their legislators this Session.  For a complete Sessions breakdown, please join us Friday at the INARF Member Forum.  Click here to register.
