2008 House Bill 5819

Appropriations: 2008-2009 Higher Education budget

Introduced in the House

Feb. 26, 2008

Introduced by Rep. Pam Byrnes (D-52)

The executive recommendation for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2008-2009 higher education budget. This would appropriate $1.799 billion in gross spending, of which all but $7.4 million is general fund and other money raised in this state. This compares to $1.896 appropriated in FY 2007-2008, which was inflated by the inclusion of a delayed disbursement from the previous year’s budget.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
