House Capital Budget Committee

Committees hold public hearings on bills, take votes in executive sessions, and study issues in work sessions. Learn about the Capital Budget Committee, its membership and meetings, and how to participate.

    The House Capital Budget Committee considers the state capital budget which approves money for the construction and repair of public buildings and for other long-term investments, such as land acquisitions and transfers. In addition, the committee considers grants and loans to local governments or nonprofit organizations for infrastructure, broadband, housing, and cultural and heritage facilities. The committee also considers bills relating to public works contracting; state buildings and land; and the authorization of state debt.
