a review of legislation by IHL attorneys, changes are

Item: FY06 General Fund Transfers

Discussion: Transfers
by the State Tax Commission to the General Fund for FY06
have now been completed. These
transfers exceeded the estimated and budgeted amount by
almost $309 million. Transfers in every month exceeded
the estimated amount except in August and September. Transfers
in February, March and June were especially good with transfers
exceeding the estimate by $42 million, $56 million, and
$46 million, respectively. Sales tax and use tax
collections were extremely positive for the year. The
only major category to show a significant year-to-year
decline was gaming fees and taxes.
Action: None
required

Agenda Item: Fall
2006 Enrollment
