SUMMARY

 

     Synopsis of Bill

 

Senate Bill 1 represents the Legislative Finance Committee recommendation for the operation of state government for FY03.  It appropriates general fund, other state funds, internal service funds/interagency transfers and federal funds for the operation of state agencies, higher education and public school support.  The bill includes funding for 21,106.71 permanent, 2,577.5 term and 176.4 temporary employees for a total of 23,860.68 employees.  See Attachment 1 for general

 

fund appropriations by agency.  See the fiscal implications section of this report for the breakout of appropriations between recurring and nonrecurring and funding sources.

 

1.               Section 4, Fiscal Year 2003 Appropriations (pages 5 through 176).  This section provides funding for state agencies, higher education and public school support. 

2.               Section 5 Special Appropriations (pages 176 through 179); Section 7, Supplemental and Deficiency Appropriations (pages 179 through 181); and Data Processing Appropriations (pages 181 through185. 

 

·       Section 5 appropriates money for expenditure in FY02 and FY03 for various special purposes and to fund the computer systems enhancement fund.  Please see Attachment 2 for specifics.

 

·       Section 6 appropriates money for expenditure in FY02 to make up shortfalls in FY01 and projected shortfalls in FY02.  Please see Attachment 2 for specifics.

 

·       Section 7 appropriates money from the computer systems enhancement fund and other funds for expenditures in FY02 and FY03 for major information technology projects.  Please see Attachment 3 for specifics.

 

     Significant Issues

 

General fund operating appropriations for most legislative agencies are contained in House Bill 1, the Feed Bill.

 

Supplement budget adjustment authority for FY02 or budget adjustment authority for FY03, usually included in the General Appropriation Act, is not included in this introduced version.  It is expected that such authority will be included in future substitutes or amendments of this bill.

 

PERFORMANCE IMPLICATIONS

 

Effective July 1, 2002, nearly every executive agency will convert to performance-based budgeting.  The agencies scheduled to implement performance-based budgeting in the final year of implementation include all legislative agencies, the judiciary and the remainder of public school and higher education.

Unless otherwise indicated, appropriations from the general fund revert to the general fund at the end of FY03.  Exceptions included higher education institutions and the State Department of Public Education.

 

Finally, the bill includes the LFC recommendation for use of the Tobacco Settlement Program Fund.  The recommendation assumes that revenue now directed to the Tobacco Settlement Permanent Fund is redirected to the Tobacco Settlement Program Fund for a period of two years.
