Ala. House Oks budget, restores Medicaid fundingMONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The Alabama House approved a $1.4 billion General Fund budget that restores $184 million to Medicaid and takes it from Alabama's prison system. The Senate voted 21-10 Thursday night to approve the budget for most non-education state services. But the austere spending plan is different than the one that passed the House and a conference committee will likely work out the differences. The conference committee work will have to take place Wednesday. That's the final day of the 2012 regular session.

The Senate amended it so that the funding hole is in corrections, not Medicaid. . |
