SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
House Bill 7 represents the Legislative Finance Committee recommendation for funding the
FY06 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 22,080.34 permanent,
2,903.45 term and 215.7 temporary employees for a total of 25,199.49 employees. See the fiscal
implications section of this report for the breakout of appropriations between recurring and non-
recurring funding sources.
1.
Section 4, Fiscal Year 2006 Appropriations (pages 6 through 203). This section pro-
vides funding for state agencies, higher education and public school support.
2.
Section 5 Special Appropriations (pages 203 through 206); Section 6, Supplemental
and Deficiency Appropriations (pages 206 through 207); Section 7, Data Processing
Appropriations (pages 207 through 215); and Section 8, Compensation Appropria-
tions (pages 215 through 216).
•
Section 5 appropriates money for expenditure in FY05 and FY06 for various spe-
cial purposes.
•
Section 6 appropriates money for expenditure in FY05 to make up shortfalls in
FY04 and projected shortfalls in FY05.
•
Section 7 appropriates money for expenditures in FY05 and FY06 for major in-
formation technology projects.
•
Section 8 appropriates money for a one and one quarter percent salary increase for
legislative, judicial, district attorneys and other public employees, effective the
first full pay period after July 1, 2005. Section 8 also appropriates a 2 percent sal-
ary increase for higher education faculty and staff effective the first full pay pe-
riod after July 1, 2005. Under Section 4, Public School Support, the state equali-
zation guarantee contains sufficient funds to provide a one and one quarter per-
cent salary increase for teachers except those receiving salary increases from
minimum salary requirements of three-tiered licensure, other instructional staff,
and other certified staff and noncertified staff, effective July 1, 2005.
Significant Issues
General fund operating appropriations for legislative agencies are contained in House Bill 1, the
Feed Bill.
Supplemental budget adjustment authority for FY05 or budget adjustment authority for FY06,
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.

end of FY06. Exceptions included higher education institutions and the Public Education De-
partment.

the Executive’s recommendations for funding operations of state government.
