Budget Highlights

The Division of the Budget prepares the Governor's proposed budget and executes the budget as enacted by the Legislature. The Division of the Budget is included in the Public Protection and General Government appropriation bill.

The Governor recommends All Funds appropriations totaling $56,020,000, representing a net decrease of $1,650,000 or 2.9 percent from State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2003-04.

State Operations

The Executive recommends State Operations General Fund appropriations of $35,120,000, reflecting a net decrease of $1,900,000 or 5.1 percent below the SFY 2003-04 funding level.

The Executive recommends a $7,000,000 General Fund appropriation for the Cash Management Improvement Act Program, which was moved in SFY 2003-04 from the Miscellaneous All State Departments and Agencies into the Division of the Budget. The appropriation for this Program reflects a $1,500,000 or 17.65 percent reduction from the SFY 2003-04 funding level. This appropriation allows the State to accept and pay any State interest liabilities owed to the Federal Government under the Federal Cash Management Improvement Act (CMIA). The Executive also recommends a $6,000,000 Special Revenue-Other (SRO) appropriation reflecting no change from the SFY 2003-04 funding level. This appropriation enables the State to accept and spend any Federal interest liabilities owed to the State.

Special Revenue-Other (SRO) appropriations totaling $19,350,000 are recommended by the Executive, representing no change from SFY 2003-04 funding levels. Funds in the SRO are derived from the collection of non-tax revenues. In addition, the Not-For-Profit Short Term Revolving Loan Account was reclassified this year on recommendations from the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB), which provides guidelines for establishing and improving standards of state and local government accounting, from a Fiduciary Fund to a Special Revenue Funds – Other. This Special Revenue Funds-Other appropriation totaling $150,000 is unchanged from SFY 2003- 04.

The Executive recommends an Internal Service Fund appropriation, totaling $1,550,000, for an annual independent audit of federal programs. This appropriation reflects an increase of $250,000 from SFY 2003-04 and mirrors higher anticipated KPMG contract costs associated with the contract with KPMG, who is conducting the audit.
