The Executive Budget recommends that these additional revenues be used for property tax relief. The amounts shown for Fiscal Years 1997 through 1999 represent the amounts appropriated in the general appropriations act. Fiscal Year 1998 and Fiscal Year 1999 amounts are contained in the Executive Budget recommendations for present law and new proposals. These amounts are covered in great detail in the body of the more comprehensive budget book. The amount shown for the 1999 biennium is the estimated appropriation needed to fund the executive pay plan.
Current law provides for numerous statutory appropriations from the general fund.
The amounts shown for Fiscal Years 1997 through 1999 are the administering agencies' best estimate of the amounts that will likely be disbursed from these appropriations under current law. Two exceptions to this rule should be noted. The amounts shown for district court reimbursements are based on the Governor's Budget Office estimates of motor vehicle license tax collections less recommended appropriations to the Office of the Appellate Defender. The net amount is statutorily appropriated under current law for district court reimbursements. Estimated amounts of current year appropriations that will be uncommitted at year end are shown on the reversion line.
