Explanation - This amendment reduces 1.50 FTE and associated
personal services and operating costs established as part of the
implementation of HB 598 from the 2019 Session. HB 598 required
the Department of Public128 Health and Human Services to review
applications for, and inspection of, marijuana testing
laboratories. This amendment decreases state special marijuana
funds by $202,894 each fiscal year of the biennium. This
amendment is contingent on passage and approval of HB 128, which
transfers the laboratory inspection and application review work
to the Department of Revenue.
