On Wednesday evening the members of the budget conference committee shook hands on the FY2024 budget bill, H.494. The $8.45 billion budget bill makes key investments in housing, Medicaid provider rate increases and transportation. That total amount includes  $231 million in one-time general fund spending , reflecting Vermont has strong revenues but that budget writers are wary of increasing on-going base spending because revenues are projected to dip next year. The bill also raises $21 million in revenue from department of motor vehicle fee increases, which is unusual for a budget bill.
