The Legislature's Appropriations and Financial Affairs Committee will meet Thursday to get updates on state revenues, Dirigo Health and school district consolidation.

The panel, which meets monthly, will also get a preliminary report on the Fund for a Healthy Maine, which is the state's tobacco settlement money. Also, lawmakers are scheduled to hear more about the state Department of Health and Human Services' transition to a new billing agent for Medicaid accounts.

The meeting is set to begin at 9:30 a.m. in room 228 of the Statehouse. It is expected to last all day.
