2007 House Bill 4360 ↩

House Roll Call 319: Passed

The House version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2007-2008 community colleges budget. This appropriates $333.8 million in gross spending (all general fund money), compared to $281.3 million, which was the FY 2006-2007 amount enrolled in 2006. When delays in previous year disbursements are considered that pushed some of those appropriations into this budget, the net increase in community college funding is around 2.5 percent, distributed unevenly to different institutions. Note: As with all House Budgets, this one authorizes spending well in excess of projected revenues, and is based on the presumption of a substantial tax increase.
