Introduced
by
The executive recommendation for the FY 2002-2003 Department of Environmental Quality budget. This appropriates $390.8 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $397 million, which was the FY 2001-2002 amount enacted in 2001, excluding any supplemental appropriations. Of this, $74.6.1 million will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the current year’s $101 million. General Fund expenditure reductions over the past two years have been offset to some degree by a funding source shift of $16.7 million from restricted funds (license fees, trust funds, etc.). The budget also reflects a $7.3 million transfer ($2.9 million GF) to the new Department of Information Technology.
