House passes amended state budget; Senate and House to negotiate differences

Today the Tennessee House passed an amended version of the state budget.

The House version of the budget differs significantly from the Senate’s budget, which means the two legislative bodies must now negotiate and resolve any differences between the two budgets before they can pass the final state budget.

The budget negotiation process can last anywhere from several hours to several days, and many things are likely to change as part of the compromise. As always, TSEA remains in contact with your legislators and legislative leadership and continues to advocate for state employees.

We will have more information in our Legislative Update on Friday.
