Pre-fiscal session budget hearings -- Day 3

The Joint Budget Committee is meeting for the third day here at the Capitol this week reviewing agency budget requests and funding recommendations from the governor's proposed budget. Today we're reviewing Dept of Health and DHS budgets. It's expected that we'll get a motion to review the Department of Community Corrections budget, which was considered yesterday.

In particular, we're reviewing budgetary requests for emergency medical services and trauma, nuclear planning grants, rural physician incentives, tobacco prevention, and other health initiatives.
