In the "maintenance" budget area, a "non-standard adjustment" was provided which restored
the agency's 10% holdback. Budget enhancements #1 through #8 on the fiscal note were
not funded. Items # 9 through #17 are funded from non-license sources; items # 18 through
#20 are budget cuts; and items #21 through #24 are fund shifts to non-license sources
for one year. #26 is a contingency appropriation from set-aside funds to give the agency
some working capital to possibly develop a new automated licensing system.
