Rep. MOODY-LAWRENCE explained the amendment.

Rep. McABEE raised the Point of Order that Amendment No. 8 was out of order as it was not germane to the Supplemental Appropriations Bill in that it was a reoccuring item.

The SPEAKER stated that Section 11-11-320 stated that after March 1, monies from the Capital Reserve Fund may be appropriated by the General Assembly in separate legislation for these three purposes, to finance in cash previously authorized capital improvement bond projects, to retire interest or principle on bonds previously issued and for capital improvements or other non-recurring purposes and in order for the Medically Needy Program to fit, it had to be another non-recurring purpose, a one time appropriation that will not be built into the budget for recurring operations.

Rep. MOODY-LAWRENCE questioned whether the money could be used where it was in the beginning on the other bill and could it be used for non-recurring purposes.

The SPEAKER stated that in the Supplemental Appropriations Bill, it could be used for anything, but for Capital Reserve Fund, it had to be an appropriation that was one time and not used for normal operational purposes.

Rep. MOODY-LAWRENCE stated that the Medically Needy Program was not currently funded in the budget but the House had voted that if the money became available, then it would be funded.

The SPEAKER stated that if that was the case, then how do you say it was a recurring program if there was not money currently in the budget for it. He further stated that it would be spent for reimbursement for medical costs for those people who fall above Medicaid qualifications but do not qualify for indigent care.

Rep. McABEE stated that once a program of this nature was started, then how could it be considered a non-recurring program.

Rep. MOODY-LAWRENCE stated that if it was not funded, then it would be recurring.

The SPEAKER stated that if it was not currently in the budget, then it is not an on-going program and was a one time appropriation.

Rep. McABEE stated that it was in the Capital Reserve Fund and did not meet the test of the three things pointed out.

The SPEAKER stated that if the House did not appropriate any money for the Medically Needy and if this was a one time appropriation only, then it was non- recurring.

Rep. BOAN stated that under that rationale, then any new program that had not been funded before would be a non-recurring appropriation.

Rep. BOAN stated that it came in direct aid to providers and was a Medicaid Program.

The SPEAKER stated that they were operational programs where applications were taken by state employees and there were administrative costs and the funds were then distributed to clients and that this was a normal operational program and not a capital program and he sustained the Point of Order and ruled the amendment out of order.

Rep. RUDNICK proposed the following Amendment No. 9 (Doc Name L:\council\legis\amend\GJK\20650SD.94), which was tabled.

Amend the resolution, as and if amended, by adding a new item to SECTION 2 to be appropriately numbered to read:

/( ) After the State House renovation is completed through the use in part of the funds provided in this act, each legislative agency located in the State House to the extent possible shall return to the space assigned to it before the renovation unless the General Assembly otherwise directs./
