Hearings in a subcommittee this am for HB 1294 and HB 1305.
HB 1294 – extends a sunset on the law allowing the University System and Technical colleges to carry over fees from one fiscal year to the next. These are “non-state” funds taken from students to pay for technology, athletics, etc. Simply good business — otherwise campuses “spend” the funds before June 30 — much of the time on items not needed.
HB 1305 – updates state law concerning where funds budgeted for investment in startups may be invested in the short term…
Then we get to work on SB 562 — more on that later
Oh, and I got accepted to graduate school yesterday… Yeah!
