Unless otherwise indicated, appropriations from the general fund revert to the general fund at the
end of FY08. Exceptions included higher education institutions and the Public Education De-
partment.
SIGNIFICANT ISSUES
General fund operating appropriations for legislative agencies are contained in House Bill 1, the
Feed Bill.
Supplemental budget adjustment authority for FY07 or budget adjustment authority for FY08,
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
CONFLICT, DUPLICATION
House Bill 7 duplicates Senate Bill 2 and conflicts with House Bill 2. House Bill 2 represents
the Executive’s recommendations for funding operations of state government.
