STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 10666
This legislation revises the expenditure limitation law. The intent of
the current law is to tie state budget growth to the growth in the
state s personal income. However, the current law is not effective
because it permits the transfer of general fund monies to other funds
and excludes one-time appropriations. This legislation closes those
loopholes.
FISCAL IMPACT
This legislation would not impact general fund revenue. It would limit
general fund expenditures under certain circumstances.
