The House passed a bloc measure by Representative Miller funding $250,000 per county and capping at $350,000 before others receive funds. Revenue bills on calendars remain the only ones likely to pass before sine die adjournment. The chain store tax bill faces final passage with proposed amendments and a key contention over excluding commissaries. General appropriations remain pending with numerous small bills awaiting final action. The Senate plans to take up probation bills and other measures next week as debates continue.
