2008 Senate Bill 1142

Appropriations: 2008-2009 Community Colleges budget

Introduced in the Senate

Feb. 28, 2008

Introduced by Sen. Irma Clark-Coleman (D-3)

The executive recommendation for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2008-2009 community colleges budget. This would appropriate $302.2 million in gross spending, compared to $318.9 million, which was the FY 2007-2008 amount enrolled in 2007. All of this comes from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues). Note: The FY 2007-2008 budget was inflated by the inclusion of a delayed disbursement from the previous year’s budget. Individual schools would get increases of 2.4 percent to 3.9 percent.
