Current statutes contain a rule of proceeding governing legislative action on certain bills. Generally, the rule provides that no bill directly or indirectly affecting general purpose revenues may be adopted if the bill would cause the estimated general fund balance on June 30 of any fiscal year to be less than a certain amount of the total general purpose revenue appropriations for that fiscal year. For fiscal years 2017-18 and 2018-19, and for each fiscal year thereafter, the amount is 2 percent of total general purpose revenue appropriations for that fiscal year.
This bill provides that for fiscal years 2017-18 and 2018-19, the amount is $65,000,000; and for 2019-20 and each fiscal year thereafter, the amount is 2 percent of total general purpose revenue appropriations for that fiscal year.
