The version lawmakers agreed to includes a provision allowing minors already receiving care to continue to do so even after the ban is in place.

Last week, as lawmakers finalized the budget, the Senate’s proposal on the arts council prevailed, which would keep the council but reduce funding to $150,000 per year, while also creating a private fundraising scheme and related tax credit.
