Sponsors: Representatives Sullivan and Alexander.

House Committee on Ways & Means

Background:

The state government operates on a fiscal biennium that begins July 1 of each odd-numbered year. The 2009-11 State Omnibus Operating Appropriations Act (Operating Budget), as amended by the 2010 Supplemental Operating Budget (ESSB 6444, Chapter 37, Laws of 2010), appropriated $31 billion from the State General Fund and two other accounts, together referred to as the State Near General Fund. The total budgeted amount, which includes state and federal funds, is $60.2 billion.

Summary:

Appropriations are modified for the 2009-11 biennium. State Near General Fund appropriations are reduced by $490.4 million, while the total budgeted amount is reduced by $336.5 million.

Technical adjustments are made to some appropriations to reflect vetoes of provisions in the 2010 Supplemental Operating Budget (ESSB 6444).
