The House has now launched into passing budget bills whose previous versions were vetoed; the first two, for the Office of Species Conservation and the Department of Parks & Recreation, passed easily with no debate. The votes: 57-8 on HB 330, species conservation; and 55-10 on HB 331, parks and rec. The next one, for PERSI, passed 60-6; followed by the Fish & Game budget, which includes a fee increase for out-of-state hunters and anglers; it passed 47-20.
