2011 Senate Bill 177 ↩

Senate Roll Call 99: Passed

The Senate version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2011-2012 General Government budget, which funds a number of state departments. This would appropriate $3.355 billion in gross spending, compared to $3.321 billion the previous year. Of this, $674.5 million will come from the general fund, $1.734 billion from "restricted funds," or earmarked tax and fee revenue, and $273.0 million from the federal government. $958.9 million of this budget is paid out in revenue sharing to local governments, compared to $1.05 billion million the previous year, but $200 million of this is contingent on individual local governments adopting more transparency, service consolidation, employee pension reforms and increased employee health benefit cost-sharing.
