NOTES

The FY 2016 budget figures are based on the budget bills signed by Gov. Jay Nixon after his vetoes that were not overridden by the legislature.
The governor's recommendation figures are his original recommendations presented to the legislature in January. They do not include subsequent increases he proposed, mostly for the Mental Health Department.
ALL FUNDS includes state taxes, federal funds, gambling revenue, ear-marked taxes and fees.
GENERAL REVENUE covers only those state funds which the legislature is free to appropriate as it wishes. Some agencies (such as the departments of Transportation, Conservation and Insurance) receive little or no General Revenue. These agencies are funded totally or almost totally from ear-marked taxes and fees.
For higher education, the total funds revenue figure does not include outside funds the universities raise from fees, federal funds, tuition, etc.
Employee benefits cover health insurance, retirement and unemployment compensation benefits for some, but not all employees. Some agencies have separate compensation plans for their workers that are not covered by a statewide benefit program.
The Revenue Department budget does not include more than $1 billion that is appropriated for income tax refunds. The administration and legislative staff have decided to not count those funds as appropriations.
The Senate figures for health, mental health and social services reflect changes in which departments would be get funds for existing programs; part of the factor in the deep cut in budget for the Health Department along with a near-corresponding increase in the budget for the Social Services Department.
