SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
House Bill 7 represents the Legislative Finance
Committee recommendation for funding the FY04 recurring operations of state
government. 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 21,063.10 permanent, 2,770.6 term and 187.5 temporary employees for
a total of 24,021.20 employees. See the
fiscal implications section of this report for the breakout of appropriations
between recurring and nonrecurring funding sources.
1.
Section 4, Fiscal Year 2004 Appropriations
(pages 5 through 198). This
section provides funding for state agencies, higher education and public school
support. See Attachment
A for general fund appropriations by agency.
2.
Section 5 Special Appropriations (pages 199
through 201); Section 6, Supplemental and Deficiency Appropriations (pages 201
through 202); Section 7, Data Processing Appropriations (pages 202 through
205); and Section 8, Compensation Appropriations (pages 205 through 207).
Please see Attachment B for specifics.
·
Section 5 appropriates money for expenditure in
FY03 and FY04 for various special purposes.
·
Section 6 appropriates money for expenditure in
FY03 to make up shortfalls in FY02 and projected shortfalls in FY03.
·
Section 7 appropriates money for expenditures in
FY03 and FY04 for major information technology projects.
·
Section 8 appropriates money for a 2 percent
salary increase for legislative, judicial, district attorneys and other public
employees, effective January 2004.
Section 8 also appropriates a 2 percent salary increase for higher
education faculty and staff effective July 2003. (Under Section 4, Public School Support, the
state equalization guarantee contains sufficient funds to provide a 2.5 percent
salary increase for teachers and a 2 percent salary increase for all other
public school employees, effective July 2003.)
Significant
Issues
General fund operating appropriations for most
legislative agencies are contained in House Bill 1, the Feed Bill.
Supplemental budget adjustment authority for FY03 or
budget adjustment authority for FY04, 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.

Unless otherwise indicated, appropriations from the
general fund revert to the general fund at the end of FY04. 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 committee recommends legislation that will distribute revenue now
paid into the Tobacco Settlement Permanent Fund to the Tobacco Settlement
Program Fund for a period of two years.
The committee recommends $21.4 million of the FY04 Tobacco Settlement
Program Fund revenue (representing the amount ordinarily earmarked to the
tobacco settlement permanent fund) be appropriated to temporarily supplant
general fund appropriations to the Human Services Department for use in the
Medicaid program.
