Vermont Business Magazine Today, the House gave final approval to H.839, the FY24 Budget Adjustment Act. This is an annual bill, passed midway through the fiscal year, that rebalances accounts and ensures that our state always maintains a balanced budget. The BAA totals $132.5 million of which $56.6 is from the General Fund. Today’s final vote followed yesterday’s 112-24 roll-call vote. From here, the bill moves to the Senate.

Following the House vote on H.839, Speaker of the House Jill Krowinski and Representative Diane Lanpher, Chair of the Committee on Appropriations, spoke on the important investments in the bill:

“We’re making strategic long-term investments as we continue to ensure that Vermont works for everyone and leaves no one behind. All committees provided input, and the result is a comprehensive adjustment that addresses critical issues facing all Vermonters,” said House Speaker Rep. Jill Krowinski. “We remain committed to flood recovery efforts, investments in  affordable and safe housing, food security for the most vulnerable, and making sure Vermonters have access to the programs and resources they need and deserve.”

“The Budget Adjustment Act is not just a fiscal exercise; it’s a reflection of our values and priorities,” stated Chair of House Appropriations, Rep. Diane Lanpher. “While the Governor has declined to fund certain proposals, we have many shared values and remain steadfast in our commitment to programs and initiatives that we know Vermonters need. We believe in fiscal responsibility and I am proud of our balanced and strategic budget that addresses the immediate needs of our state while investing in its future.”
