R · S25
Why they voted this way
The lawmaker opposes concurrence because they believe the state has an obligation to consult with local communities before disposing of land located within municipal boundaries.
Why they voted this way
The lawmaker urges a vote against concurrence because combining funds into one account creates a risk where the first agency to act could take all the money, rather than keeping revenues tied to their specific institutions.
H05
Why they voted this way
The lawmaker supports the amendment because it removes specific statutory language on how money should be spent, leaving that decision to the Appropriations Committee while still creating a special reserve fund.

The lawmaker supports the general concept but expresses concern that the current language lacks a clear mechanism to ensure funds flow into the designated account.
Why they voted this way
The lawmaker opposes the amendment because removing direct benefits for institutions eliminates their incentive to sell or repurpose underutilized lands.
Why they voted this way
The lawmaker supports the amendment as a logical compromise that provides state control over funding while still offering institutions an incentive to apply for funds from the new reserve.
