GENERAL FUND BUDGET DETAIL - SENATE BELL
The Senate’s budget bill, S 1505, amends the 1994-95 budget to appropriate a total of $459,578,035
for General Fund expansion items and makes cuts in the 1994-95 General Fund continuation budget
totaling $172,906,212 for a net increase in General Fund recurring expenditures of $286,671,823. The
bill also appropriates $391,397,462 in nonrecurring revenues for General Fund current operating items,
and appropriates federal block grant funds for 1994-95.
Appropriations for capital projects total $160,536,700.
Changes in the General Fund current operating budget are detailed in a Report on Budget
Modifications issued by the Senate Appropriations Committee. The following information is digested from
that report. We have not attempted to identify all of the continuation budget reductions. We have,
however, attempted to identify all expansion budget items and nonrecurring items, as well as all capital
improvements projects.
