Title

State funds, not earmarked to Education Trust Fund or State General Fund or constitutionally earmarked, exceptions, deposit in State General Fund, changes to Code of Alabama when reprinted

Description

The State of Alabama currently earmarks by statutory or constitutional requirements more of its state revenues than any other state. This earmarking makes it difficult for the Governor and the Legislature to adequately address funding issues that occur when deducted revenue sources decline or are no longer available.

This bill would require all state taxes or fees that are not distributed to the Education Trust Fund or State General Fund or constitutionally distributed to a specific fund or for a specific purpose to be deposited into the State General Fund and appropriated as the Legislature may deem appropriate for the expenditures of the state.
