FROM:	John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB3453 by Heflin (Relating to suspending the operation of certain statutory funding formulas during the state fiscal biennium beginning September 1, 2003.), As Introduced

The bill would suspend certain statutory funding formulas for the 2004-05 biennium, thereby providing the Legislature with more flexibility to distribute funding within programs currently governed by the formulas. 

Local Government Impact
