Subsidy accounting for AOSs

According to my notes, LD 160 was the bill that the Committee decided to keep to carry over for the next session once it's safely not a "competing measure" to the repeal initiative.

LDs 816, 818, and 1037 were voted "ought not to pass".

No particular difference between the bills. But the Committee didn't seem inclined toward the provisions which might require breaking down the reporting requirements within RSUs to the municipal level. Support for this for AOSs seems general.
