This is the house version of the revenue stabilization just go over some quick highlights we pretty much know what all of. Of the big changes. Is that we have right under seventy million dollars in new money for adequacy for education. Twenty eight and a half million dollars for for new money for facilities. Of there will be thirty seven point six to help alleviate the DDS waiver. And the of Medicaid grant this year. Now the increase has been curbed from forty three million dollars to the DHS grants twenty three million. This was done mainly by legislators asking the governor to get this budget under three percent so twenty million was taken off and once again they have a balance in the Medicare trust fund of over five hundred fifty million dollars so they have adequate ballots what they're being budget to take care of any needs. The other big change on the The budget is is that we did add. From thirty two to forty dollars a day for a county jail reimbursement as another six point four million dollars to the revenue stabilization to the but budget this goes back to help. our jails and if you look over the last sixteen years through two governors we've done four dollars we're we've double that this section which I think. Our county jails in our county personnel will appreciate that. One of the place we had a cut was the performers Fund Merrick but he was sixteen million. Of the governor credited Teague and to basically pay of for the county jail reimbursement. Of course seven point three million dollars in this budget for the state police raises of. That We'll be going for state police pay in the average pay for trooper will be somewhere around twelve thousand dollars a year. Which since the strong message that we do support law enforce. This budget is a little over six billion dollars. It's a hundred seventy five million dollar increase two point nine nine percent from the previous year's budget. also the one time schedule the hundred and fifty million dollars for various projects the new prison I thank the thirty million dollars for the blind school is is now in this budget instead of a one time bill. and that's mentioned in section three of the bill.
