JFC to take up CORE Jobs Act, ARRA requests

The Joint Finance Committee will exec tomorrow on the CORE Jobs package proposed by Senate Democrats and vote on a handful of supplemental funding requests through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Among the 13.10 requests is one from the Department of Health Services to use nearly $5 million over the next two fiscal years to plan and implement a statewide health information exchange. In addition, DHS is requesting nearly $1.4 million to plan and develop a state Medicaid health information technology plan.

The DHS requests for ARRA money also include $2.4 million this fiscal year and $21.4 million in 2010-11 for obesity prevention and tobacco use prevention.

In addition, the Department of Workforce Development is requesting the use of $9 million in federal money for employment assistance and unemployment insurance administration.

The meeting begins at 10 a.m.
