Senate Bill 1, the General Appropriations Act, appropriates approximately $182.3 billion for the FY2010-FY2011 state fiscal biennium beginning September 1, 2009. That amount includes all funding sources, excluding interagency contracts and adjustments for appropriations. Of the legislatively approved amount, nearly $87.1 billion, or 47.7 percent, is derived from general revenue, both dedicated and nondedicated. Another $65.6 billion, or 36 percent, represents federal funding, and $29.7 billion, or 16.3 percent, comes from other funds. (Figures and percentages do not add up due to rounding.) The $182.3 billion budgetary total for FY2010- FY2011 represents a $12.6 billion, or 7.4 percent, increase over the FY2008-FY2009 budget.
Legislative appropriations for major governmental functions and services for FY2010- FY2011 compared with appropriations for the preceding fiscal biennium are as follows: General government receives $4.1 billion, an increase of 7.9 percent. Total funding for health and human services is $59.6 billion, an increase of 16.6 percent. The legislature appropriates $75.4 billion for both public and higher education, a 23.8 percent increase.

The governor vetoed approximately $386.1 million in all funding sources from Senate Bill 1, of which $97.2 million was funding from general revenue. The appropriations vetoed by the governor represent contingency riders or contingent appropriations for bills that either did not pass or were vetoed by the governor.
