Assembly Republicans have sent their first nine proposed amendments to the budget for drafting.

The topics include amendments to the JFC's action on the jobs tax credit (authored by Rep. Mary Williams), tech college worker retraining (Rep. Bies), auto insurance minimum coverage mandates (Rep. Nygren), the LearnFare program (Rep. Honadel), two amendments to the prevailing wage proposal (Rep. Gottlieb), contributory negligence/joint and several (Rep. Zipperer) and stewardship (Rep. Gunderson).

Though the two latter proposals are being modified by Assembly Dems, the GOP will still move the amendments, according to Assembly Minority Leader Jeff Fitzgerald's office.

Here are the budget amendment statements from the GOP members:

Rep. Gunderson on stewardship

Rep. Honadel on LearnFare

Rep. Nygren, Zipperer on liability law changes

Rep. Nygren on auto insurance

Rep. Williams on jobs tax credit
