NOTES
The FY 2012 Appropriation is the amount approved by the legislature and signed by the governor for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2011. It does not reflect subsequent withholdings ordered by the governor.
The governor's recommendations are his amended recommendations that include changes in his proposals after he presented his original budget plan to the legislature in January. The biggest change involves an additional $40 million to higher education's budget from a potential national settlement involving fraudulent mortgage practices.
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 higher total funds figure is, partially, the result of elimination of several "estimated" appropriations in which programs were authorized to spend as much as they could get from outside funds. The legislature's new approach locks in specific figures that an agency cannot exceed.
