financial incentives outlined in the most recent COVID-19 relief package, Governor Ivey and legislative leaders are considering Medicaid expansion and are currently reviewing the incentives. Alabama is one of 12 states that have not expanded its Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act. It is estimated that 300,000 people would be added to Medicaid if Alabama were to expand its eligibility; Medicaid expansion is estimated to bring in about $900 million in revenue (Modern Healthcare). • On March 18, the Alabama Senate unanimously approved and passed the $7.67 billion Education Trust Fund budget, which is the largest education budget in state history. The education budget includes 2% across the board pay raises for public education employees, a new salary matrix to recruit teachers, funding for a school nurse program to ensure every school system has nurses, and a retiree trust fund to present teachers with bonuses. The bill is now in the Alabama House of Representatives for approval (CBS 42). • The House is set to vote on Alabama’s General Fund budget by March 11. The House Ways and Means Committee’s budget is almost $2.5 billion for FY 2022 and will be the largest General Fund budget Alabama

  • HPI Analysis: Rokita's Senate Edge
    V23, N15 Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2017 HPI Analysis: Rokita’s Senate edge While no one has GOP race locked up, Rokita is closer than many might think By MARK SOUDER FORT WAYNE – Obviously, Congressman Todd Rokita has not locked up the Republican nomination for Senate yet, but he is closer than most think. It is no surprise that Rokita has a significant early lead. He has twice run and won statewide for secretary of state, as well as serving as a congressman.

Though citizens don’t often sue over agency MEPA decisions (lawsuits under MEPA have been filed only 39 times out of over 39,000 state actions that have been reviewed under MEPA in 36 years), Lange still erupted with an- gry rhetoric at the close of a hearing on his bill. “I’m sick and tired of people that are paid to stand up here and go to court and obstruct facilities just because they don’t like it,” he said.

  • Prayer Practices
    Floor Action 5-145 Prayer Practices Legislatures operate with a certain element of pomp, ceremony and procedure that flavor the institution with a unique air of tradition and theatre. The mystique of the opening ceremonies and rituals help to bring order and dignity to the proceedings. One of these opening ceremonies is the offering of a prayer. Use of legislative prayer. The practice of opening legislative sessions with prayer is long- standing. The custom draws its roots from both houses of the British Parliament, which, according to noted parliamentarian Luther Cushing, from time ”immemorial” began each day with a “reading of the prayers.” In the United States, this custom has continued without interruption at the federal level since the first Congress under the Constitution (1789) and for more than a century in many states. Almost all state legislatures still use an opening prayer as part of their tradition and procedure (see table 02-5.50). In the Massachusetts Senate, a prayer is offered at the beginning of floor sessions for special occasions. Although the use of an opening prayer is standard practice, the timing of when the prayer occurs varies (see table 02-5.51). In the majority of legislative bodies, the prayer is offered after the floor session is called to order, but before the opening roll call is taken. Prayers sometimes are given before floor sessions are officially called to order; this is true in the Colorado House, Nebraska Senate and Ohio House. Many chambers vary on who delivers the prayer. Forty-seven chambers allow people other than the designated legislative chaplain or a visiting chaplain to offer the opening prayer (see table 02-5.52).

  • Senate Appropriations Committee Meeting March 17Th 2021 Brent and Trish Levinson - Affinity Global Solutions Page 1 of 2
    Testimony of Brent and Trish Levinson for the North Dakota Senate Appropriations Public Hearing on March 17th 2021. Chairman Holmberg and committee members of the Senate Appropriations Committee, This testimony is presented by Brent and Trish Levinson the owners of Affinity Global Solutions (AGS) whose IBARS (Internet Budget Analysis and Reporting System) product is used to source, analyze, and generate publications for the State's budget. In the upcoming biennium IBARS is to be replaced through a project sponsored by OMB and the Governor's Office. OMB has requested an "annual contract for a new budget system" with a request amount of $1,230,100 (see Exhibits A and B) with additional funding to be sourced through the Strategic Investment and Improvement Fund. It is unclear what the intent and scope of this contract is. Perhaps, this is a long term software as a service (SaaS) contract for $1,230,100 per year where the State owns no solution? AGS has been a partner with the State of North Dakota in sourcing, analyzing and producing reports and publications for the State's budget for over 25 years. The origins of IBARS were built to meet the needs of North Dakota's State budgeting process and then enhanced to meet the needs of many other States. For example, IBARS went live in December 2019 for the State of New Jersey. IBARS is an actively supported, developed, vibrant and competitive product built by and for North Dakotans. 2020 maintenance of IBARS for the State of North Dakota was $93,635. North Dakota has a perpetual license for IBARS.

Virginia Aldrich, Staff Attorney RE: Litigation Background and Districting and Apportionment Criteria DATE: May 31, 2020 This memorandum was prepared as background information for the Districting and Apportionment Commission (Commission), and it does not represent any opinion or action on the part of the Commission. I. Introduction and Important Deadlines The U.S. Constitution provides that an "actual Enumeration" of the population must be made every ten years under provisions set by Congress.1 Under federal law, the Secretary of Commerce is commanded to "take a decennial census of population as of the first day of April" every ten years.2 Thus, April 1, 2020, is officially designated Census Day, the date that determines who is counted and where each person is counted. As a result, seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are apportioned to the states based on the census, and the federal government uses census numbers to help allocate federal funds. By law, the U.S. Census Bureau must complete and report the total population count by state to the U.S. President within nine months after Census Day.3 Within a week of the opening of the 117th Congress4, the President must transmit to Congress a statement showing the total population in each state and the number of congressional representatives to which each state is entitled.5 P.L. 94-171 redistricting data must be reported to the "Governor of the State involved and the officers or public bodies having responsibility for legislative apportionment or districting of such State" within one year after the census date.

See Sup. Ct. R. 37. Plaintiff filed its motion for leave to file a bill of complaint in this matter on December 7, 2020. On December 8, the Court requested responses to the motion by 3 p.m. on Thursday, December 10. In light of this expedited briefing schedule, it was not feasible to provide 10 days’ notice to the parties. In addition, the compressed schedule prevented Governor Bullock from having the brief finalized in sufficient time to allow it to be printed and filed in booklet form.
