Summary

SB209 provides a large set of supplemental General Fund appropriations for FY2010, shifts certain debt funding sources from CIPF to the General Fund, and makes adjustments to Community Services Grants and vaccine funding, while prohibiting state employee furloughs.

What This Bill Does

It authorizes numerous supplemental General Fund appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010 to many state agencies (examples include the Department of Corrections, Alabama Medicaid Agency, Public Health for an ALS clinic, Environmental Management, Unified Judicial System, Tourism, and others). It also amends the FY2010 General Appropriation Bill to move funding sources for certain General Obligation bonds from the Capital Improvement Trust Fund to the State General Fund, and it adjusts the distribution of Community Services Grants and transfers vaccine funds from the Department of Corrections to the Department of Public Health. Additionally, it provides up to $82 million from the Mental Health Capital Improvement Account to the Department of Mental Health for capital outlay and related expenditures, and authorizes other targeted appropriations (e.g., Alabama Construction Recruitment Institute, Revenue, Veterinary Board, Securities Board, and Insurance). Finally, it prohibits furloughs, involuntary reductions in force, or layoffs in any SGF-funded department or agency for FY2010.
