governor and the legislature, all of the following:
1. A proposal to reduce the agency's state operations budget for each fiscal year
of the succeeding fiscal biennium by a total of 5 percent of the agency's state
operations budget for the current fiscal year.
2. A proposal to maintain the agency's current state operations budget levels
for each fiscal year of the succeeding fiscal biennium.
An agency's state operations budget excludes aids to local governments,
individuals, and organizations. The substitute amendment additionally excludes

expenditures for state operations, including expenditures from federal revenues and
