INTRODUCTIONThis summary of the General Appropriations Bill publication provides an overview of the appropriations included in theGeneral Appropriations Bill, otherwise known as the state budget. The version of the General Appropriations Bill that becomeslaw, after being passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor, is referred to as the General Appropriations Act (GAA).This enacted legislation is the state’s budget for a two-year period (biennium). The Legislative Budget Board staff provides aSummary of the General Appropriations Bill for each version of the bill as the budget deliberations unfold during the legislativesession. The summary is not a reconciliation of each change in the General Appropriations Bill, but rather a high-level overviewof major changes between the biennia and between iterations of the bill. It is a reference for legislators and other stakeholdersas they work through budget deliberations.The General Appropriations Bill is categorized into articles that cover certain areas of state government. For example, Article Iis General Government. Article II covers Health and Human Services, and Article III is Public and Higher Education. Sixadditional articles cover the other areas of government.The Legislature uses four methods of finance to appropriate funds to state agencies and public institutions of higher education:General Revenue Funds, General Revenue–Dedicated Funds, Federal Funds, and Other Funds. All Funds is the summation ofthe methods of finance. General Revenue Funds include the nondedicated portion of the General Revenue Fund, which is the state’s primaryoperating fund. General Revenue Funds also include the Available School Fund, the State Instructional Materials Fund,and the Foundation School Fund. General Revenue–Dedicated Funds include approximately 200 accounts within the General Revenue Fund that arededicated for specific purposes by statute or the funds-consolidation process. For example, Clean Air Account Number151 is funded primarily through a portion of motor vehicle inspection fees and a portion of air pollution control fees.These revenues are statutorily dedicated to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to provide funding forvarious air quality, monitoring and permitting programs. Federal Funds include grants, allocations, payments, or reimbursements received from the federal government by stateagencies and institutions. The largest portion of federal funding appropriations is for the Medicaid program in Article II.Other examples of Federal Funds appropriations include the U.S. Social Security Act, the U.S. Every Student SucceedsAct (Title I), Grants to Local Educational Agencies, National School Lunch Program, Transportation Grants and NationalHighway System Funding, Special Education Basic State Grants, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. Other Funds consist of any funds not included in the General Revenue Fund (dedicated or not) or Federal Funds.Examples of Other Funds appropriations include those from the State Highway Fund, the Texas Mobility Fund, theProperty Tax Relief Fund, the Economic Stabilization Fund, trust funds, bond proceeds, and Interagency Contracts.The introduction chapter of the summary provides a high-level overview of the General Appropriations Bill.
