DOH Appropriation Relating to School Health
The Senate Committee on Health & Human Services Appropriations and the House Human Services Appropriations Committee both met this week. These will be the committees with the main oversight of the Dept. of Health, and County Health Departments. From the Department's recommendations, they are only looking for the 4% cut that will be sweeping across the board in state agencies. From original GR of $3.7 million, a 4% cut represents $148,000.
