2016 Senate Bill 800 ↩

Senate Roll Call 234: Passed

The Senate version of the non-education portion of the state government budget for the fiscal year that begins on Oct. 1, 2016. This would appropriate $38.673 billion, compared to $38.616 billion authorized the year before. The education portion of the budget (K-12, community colleges and state universities) is in Senate Bill 801.<br> Altogether, when both "omnibus" budgets are combined, the Senate proposes to spend $54.779 billion on all of state government next year, vs. $54.530 billion originally approved for the current year. Of this, $22.567 billion is federal money and $32.212 billion comes from state tax and fee collections, a 2.4 percent increase in the state share.
