  4 24                           EXPLANATION
  4 25    This bill relates to the state general fund expenditure
  4 26 limitation and related state funds and budgeting practices.
  4 27    In addition to the elimination of obsolete provisions in
  4 28 Code sections 8.37, 8.42, and 8.53, the bill also does the
  4 29 following:  Code sections 2.47A(1)(c), 8.6(14), and 8.6(15)
  4 30 are amended to eliminate the requirement for preparing an
  4 31 annual five-year capital priority plan by the department of
  4 32 management.
  4 33    Code section 8.21, relating to the date requirements for
  4 34 the governor to transmit the governor's budget recommendations
  4 35 to the general assembly, is amended in conformance with the
  5  1 expenditure limitation law to strike the word "balanced".
  5  2    Code section 8.22A, relating to the revenue estimating
  5  3 conference, is amended to require that for the meeting in
  5  4 which the revenue estimate for the succeeding fiscal year is

  5  7 other than the state on or before June 30 of the fiscal year
  5  8 but not remitted until after June 30.  Accruals also include
  5  9 lottery revenue collected on or before June 30 of the fiscal
  5 10 year but transferred to the state general fund after June 30.
  5 11 The estimates developed at that meeting are required to be
  5 12 used in calculation of the state general fund expenditure
  5 13 limitation under Code section 8.54.
  5 14    The repeal of Code section 8.24 and the amendment of Code
  5 15 section 8.25 eliminate the department of management's
  5 16 requirement to prepare estimates of total government income.
  5 17    Code section 8.29 is amended to eliminate budget analysts
  5 18 from the department of management from being attached to board
  5 19 of regents institutions.
  5 20    Code section 8.35A is amended so that the director of
  5 21 revenue and finance will assist the director of the department
  5 22 of management in providing projected and actual expenditures
  5 23 to the legislative fiscal bureau.
  5 24    The repeal of Code section 8.39A deletes the requirement of
  5 25 the departments of agriculture and land stewardship and
  5 26 natural resources to notify specific legislators about the
  5 27 transfer of moneys or full-time equivalent positions.
  5 28    The bill takes effect upon enactment with some sections
  5 29 being first applicable to the budget that commences on July 1,
  5 30 2002.
