The Campus Activities Board’s budget potentially could be reorganized if a bill passes at Sunday’s Student Association meeting.

The bill, titled SAB 35057 A Bill to Authorize Budget Reorganization, states “the incoming executives be allowed to reorganize the CAB budget to meet new priorities or initiatives.”

The author of the bill, SA Senate Speaker Andrew Nelms, said the bill gives the newly elected officials the opportunity to review the budget if they see fit. He said the SA constitution already allows for budget changes to be made. Money from one area can be used to fund something else.

Nelms said the new executives have not had the opportunity to partake in budget processes, and the bill would take care of that.

“Everyone needs to be on the same page,” Nelms said. The SA passed a bill in February that required campus-wide elections for CAB executive positions.

CAB President Jen Suerth said the bill would give the new executives a certain amount of pull they would not have otherwise. She feared certain budgets would be cut. She was concerned particularly about Coffeehouse, which was zero-funded last year.

Recently, Suerth and CAB members restructured their constitution and expanded the description of what executives must do, per instruction from the SA Supreme Court.

Suerth said she was worried about the structure of the bill and what CAB president-elect Jenny Mendez might do with the potential power.

“I don’t know if they know what our budget means,” Suerth said. She said only one executive has come to meet either the current executive staff or the university advisers to CAB.

The bill states that the SA Senate needs to approve the budget by Oct. 15. Suerth said CAB has several events planned earlier than Oct. 15 that won’t have funding if the senate delays.

“I’m preparing to present the argument I can on Sunday,” Suerth said. The bill also states that CAB’s budget must be approved by the SA treasurer no later than June 1.

Executives do not take office until July 1, Suerth said. She said this bill will cause programming to be put to a halt.

“My staff is really mad,” Suerth said.

Matt Holder, CAB vice president-elect, said he had no comment concerning the bill.

Two SA senators sponsoring of the bill, Mendez and Bill Leahy, CAB treasure-elect, could not be reached for comment at press time.
