On January 27, the Senate released their introduced budget which would spend $101.5 billion in General Revenue and includes $4 billion in tax relief. The Senate Finance Committee will work from this initial proposal as it prepares a budget for the full Senate to consider later in the session.
The House's introduced two-year state budget plan released January 15 would appropriate $98.8 billion in General Revenue.
The introduced budget bills of the House and Senate will be a starting point for discussions that will undergo multiple revisions in committee and in their respective chambers before being sent to the Governor at the end of the 84th Session.
An archive is also available of the Senate press conference on the introduced budget.
