SUMMARY

 

     Synopsis of Bill

 

House Bill 4 represents the Legislative Finance Committee recommendation for funding FY 04 recurring operations of the New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department.  It appropriates $332, 047.4 of other state funds and  $303,267.8 of federal funds for recurring operations for the six Highway Department programs.

 

     Significant Issues

 

Budget adjustment authority for FY 04, usually included in the General Appropriation Act, is not included in HB 4.

 

 

 

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The appropriation contained in HB 4 is summarized by revenue source and by program by category in the following tables:

 


The revenues shown in the tables above assume the one cent decrease in gasoline tax effective July 1, 2003.

 


TECHNICAL ISSUES

 

HB 4 does not take into account SHTD updated revenue estimates for FY04.  These estimates were compiled in January 03 and  estimate that there will be an increase of $250.0 in State Road Fund revenues, $151.0 decrease in Local Government Road Fund, $86.0 decrease in State Aviation Fund, and $79.0 in State Transportation Fund.
