NOTES
The governor's recommendation figures are his original recommendations presented to the legislature in January.
ALL FUNDS includes state taxes, federal funds, gambling revenue, ear-marked taxes and fees.
The FY 2016 figures represent the appropriations passed and signed into law in 2015. In order to assure an accurate comparison between the two fiscal years, the FY 2016 figures do not include subsequent budget withholdings by the governor nor supplemental appropriations approved in 2016.
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.
General Revenue does not include funds from a special "Surplus Revenue Fund" that will hold tax collections that exceed the legislature's estimate. As a result, some of the legislature's cuts in the governor's recommendations for General Revenue spending could be covered with Surplus Revenue funds that are included in the all funds figures.
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.
