Title
General Fund, authorizing tranfers of certain funds from certain agencies beginning with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014
Summary

SB100 creates authority to move funds from certain state departments into the State General Fund starting in FY 2014 to help offset the costs of services provided by other state agencies.

What This Bill Does

It authorizes transfers of state funds from 13 listed departments into the General Fund, in annual amounts set by the State General Fund appropriations act, beginning with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014. The transfers are intended to provide funds to offset the costs of state services provided to those departments by state entities that receive General Fund appropriations. The act does not apply to funds designated for a specific constitutional purpose, and it becomes effective October 1, 2013.

Who It Affects
  • State General Fund: will receive annual transfers from the listed departments, increasing its receipts to offset the costs of state services.
  • Listed departments (Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board; Department of Conservation and Natural Resources; Department of Environmental Management; Department of Finance; Department of Insurance; Department of Labor; Manufactured Housing Commission; State Personnel Department; Public Service Commission; Department of Revenue; Securities Commission; Alabama Surface Mining Commission; Alabama Tourism Department): will have portions of their funds transferred to the General Fund each year, reducing their available funds.
Key Provisions
  • Section 1 authorizes transfers from 13 named state departments to the General Fund in annual amounts specified in the General Fund appropriations act, starting with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014.
  • Transfers are for the purpose of providing funds to offset the costs of state services provided to those departments by state entities funded from the General Fund.
  • Section 2 excludes from the transfers any funds designated for a specific purpose by the state constitution.
  • Section 4 states the act becomes effective October 1, 2013 (with related repeal of conflicting laws in Section 3).
