Article II Markup Comparison by the Article II Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee and Senate Finance Committee: HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMISSION
Budget
Due to face masks, social distancing, and low speaking voices, a few decisions in the House could not be clearly understood. In the Senate Finance Committee, transparency in decision-making was a continuing problem. Every effort was made to report the decisions as accurately as possible.
