CONTENT

 

The bill would provide supplemental appropriations for fiscal year (FY) 2013-14. The bill includes negative Gross appropriations of $102.4 million and General Fund/General Purpose (GF/GP) appropriations of $329.6 million, primarily to reflect the technical adjustments ($455.4 million negative Gross, $73.3 million positive GF/GP) in the Departments of Community Health and Corrections related to the delay in the expansion of Medicaid. In addition, the bill contains $29.1 million of GF/GP appropriations recommended by the State Budget Office (SBO) for various departments. Also recommended by the Governor and included in the bill is a $26.4 million GF/GP reduction to recognize savings from the refinancing of State Building Authority bonds. In addition, there are $253.5 million of legislatively initiated GF/GP appropriations for various departments, but these do include $215.0 million in the Department of Transportation for priority road projects ($115.0 million) and special winter road maintenance ($100.0 million).  Table 1 summarizes the appropriations in the bill.
