HR 22 Original 2016 Regular Session Henry
Abstract: Divides the Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on Education into the
Subcommittee on Elementary and Secondary Education and the Subcommittee on
Postsecondary Education.
Present House Rule establishes the following standing subcommittees of the Committee on
Appropriations: Education, General Government, Health and Human Services, Business
Development, Infrastructure and Resources, and Public Safety and Corrections and further specifies
which portions of the executive budget each is to review. Present House Rule authorizes the
Appropriations Committee chairman to appoint the chairman, vice chairman, and members of
subcommittees. Provides that the chairman of the Appropriations Committee shall establish the
work schedule of the subcommittees and may refer other budgets and appropriations to the
subcommittees for review.
Proposed House Rule divides the Subcommittee on Education into the Subcommittee on Elementary
and Secondary Education and the Subcommittee on Postsecondary Education and specifies which
portions of Schedule 19 of the executive budget each is to review. Further, corrects the names of
the Dept. of Children and Family Services and the La. Workforce Commission and clarifies that the
Subcommittee on Health and Human Services reviews budget and appropriations for the "Health
Care Services Division within the LSU Health Sciences Centers, and the budgets and appropriations
associated with the delivery of health care services in Louisiana" rather than the "Health Care
Services Division, the LSU Health Sciences Centers, and the budgets associated with the delivery
of health care services in Louisiana."
