2006 Senate Bill 1088 ↩

Senate Roll Call 598: Passed

The House-Senate conference report for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2006-2007 higher education budget. This appropriates $1.787 billion in gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars), compared to $1.733 billion, which was the FY 2005-2006 amount enrolled in 2005. Of this, $1.624 billion will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2005-2006 amount of $1.576 billion. The budget gives an increase of at least 2.5 percent to every university, and raises the minimum per-student funding level to $3,775.
