                                    SENATE BILL NO. 1143
                                                                        
                                    BY FINANCE COMMITTEE
                                                                        
  1                                        AN ACT
  2    RELATING TO APPROPRIATIONS; PROVIDING LEGISLATIVE INTENT; PROVIDING  A  REDUC-
  3        TION IN THE APPROPRIATIONS TO THE VARIOUS STATE AGENCIES, INSTITUTIONS AND
  4        ENTITIES,  FOR  FISCAL YEAR 2003; PROVIDING THAT THE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE
  5        OF THE SENATE AND THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES SHALL DIRECT
  6        THE STATE CONTROLLER TO REDUCE THE FUNDS TRANSFER TO THE LEGISLATIVE FUND;
  7        EXPRESSING LEGISLATIVE INTENT REGARDING REDIRECTING SAVINGS IN HEALTH  AND
  8        WELFARE; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
                                                                        
  9    Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
                                                                        
 10        SECTION 1.  LEGISLATIVE INTENT. The January 2003 revised General Fund rev-
 11    enue estimates indicate that sufficient revenues will not be available to meet
 12    the fiscal year 2003 appropriations authorized by the Legislature. Section 11,
 13    Article  VII,  of  the  Constitution  of the State of Idaho provides that: "No
 14    appropriation shall be made, nor any expenditure authorized, by  the  legisla-
 15    ture, whereby the expenditure of the state during any fiscal year shall exceed
 16    the  total  tax then provided for by law, and applicable to such appropriation
 17    or expenditure...". Therefore, the Legislature finds it  necessary  to  reduce
 18    agency  appropriations  to  balance General Fund expenditures with anticipated
 19    revenues for the current fiscal year.
                                                                        
 20        SECTION 2.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law  to  the  contrary,
 21    the  appropriation  of  moneys made in the following sections of the following
 22    chapters, Laws of 2002, is hereby reduced by the following  amounts  from  the
 23    General  Fund for the period July 1, 2002, through June 30, 2003. Agencies and
 24    institutions shall administer these reductions by program and by expense class
 25    so as to minimize the impacts on essential services:
