Committee
From House Calendar No. 22, 03/14/03
HCR 7, opposing unfunded and under-funded federal education mandates.
MAJORITY: INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE. MINORITY: OUGHT TO PASS.
Rep. Ken Hawkins for the Majority of State-Federal Relations and
Veterans Affairs: The majority of the committee felt that we have
passed and sent to the United States Congress and United States
Senate HCR 3 stating opposition to unfunded mandates. The House has
also passed HB 786 that requires the federal government to adhere to
the policy of no mandates without funding that this resolution is
redundant. Vote 12-2.
Rep. Cynthia P. Sweeney for the Minority of State-Federal Relations
and Veterans Affairs: The minority feels that while we laud and
approve of the "no child left behind" program, we are adamantly
opposed to unfunded or underfunded programs being thrust upon this
state by the federal government.
