The Senate Committee Substitute for House Bill 2 (CSHB 2) still needs to advance to the full Senate to be approved and then move back over to the full House, where the members can either accept the Senate version or request a conference committee. May 28, 2025, marks the last day on which the Senate can vote out CSHB 2, and May 31, 2025, marks the last day the House and Senate can reach an agreement in the conference committee.

The House and Senate are locked in negotiations over the basic allotment, one of the components in CSHB 2. The best way to get an increase in the basic allotment is to push for the full $9.1 billion. To do that, we need you to take action and reach out to your legislators: go.ryht.org/fundschools
Right now, every email sent can help push for a stronger basic allotment increase and support an effort to ensure the original $395 increase proposed in HB 2 makes it into final negotiations.
The time is now. Go here to send emails to your legislators: go.ryht.org/fundschools
