OTHER SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES
Highlights of HAFC Substitute for HB2, 2020 General Appropriation Act, as amended by the Senate Finance Committee.
CS/House Bill 2&3/aSFC – Page 3
HB 2, as amended by the Senate Finance Committee (SFC), along with HB1, the legislative feed bill, make FY21 recurring General Fund appropriations of $7.621 billion. This is an increase of $536 million or 7.6 percent over the FY20 General Fund operating budget. The SFC amended bill provides compensation increases for all public employees, including all public school employees, at an average of 4 percent and maintains the targeted compensation for judges, district attorney lawyers, prison guards, dispatchers, forensic scientists and state police. The SFC amended bill also further increases appropriations for higher education to $905.5 million or 4.4 percent above FY20. The amended bill includes $32 million in total funding for a package of financial aid programs, including a new targeted Opportunity Scholarship to cover 100 percent of tuition and fees, and funding for Lottery Scholarship recipients that will cover 83 percent of tuition costs for eligible students next year. The amended HB 2 makes other adjustments, including providing for provider rate increases for senior services and Medicaid providers. Finally, the amended bill reduces nonrecurring appropriations by $142.5 million, including roads, and includes an additional $20 million for the new early childhood endowment fund for a total transfer of $320 million. General fund reserves would be $1.9 billion, or 25 percent of recurring appropriations.
Public Education. The amended HB 2 increases FY21 General Fund appropriations for public education by $216.8 million or 6.7 percent over the FY20 operating budget, with another $93 million in total revenue for nonrecurring education-related initiatives. Total General Fund recurring appropriations for public education are $3.47 billion. HB 2 makes appropriations to further increase the SEG’s at-risk factor by $50 million, a 20 percent increase to the $255 million in the current operating budget. The bill provides teachers an average 4 percent salary increase along with 4 percent for the rest of public school employees, increases funding for new teacher induction and mentorship, professional development, and evidence-based early literacy programs. Finally, HB 2, as amended, includes almost $19 million for facilities and maintenance costs at school districts with federally connected students residing on tribal lands and $13.5 million for the development and purchase of culturally relevant instructional materials.
Higher Education. HB 2, as amended, makes appropriations to higher education institutions and the Higher Education Department of $905.5 million and another $33 million for faculty and staff compensation increases to average 4 percent. HB 2 includes $18 million more than the FY20 operating budget to increase formula funding for instruction and general purposes with no performance formula base shave which ensures every institution is rewarded for their work. The bill also makes adjustments with increases for several research and public service projects and includes $32 million for a student financial aid package. The amended bill creates a new targeted Opportunity Scholarship to cover unmet tuition and fees for full-time students receiving the Lottery Scholarship or who are returning adult students at community colleges. Federal Pell grants would be excluded from the calculations of unmet need, and the bill further boosts funding for state work study funding for returning adults receiving the new scholarship. Finally, HB 2 includes a one-time $9.7 million increase for the Lottery Tuition Scholarship – estimated to increase tuition coverage from 65 percent to 83 percent – which would also benefit Opportunity Scholarship recipients.
Early Childhood. Funding increases for the new Early Childhood Education and Care Department total almost $40 million from the general fund or almost 23 percent, largely for child care assistance and 3-and-4 year old private prekindergarten. HB 2 sub increases public school prekindergarten almost 30 percent to almost $52 million.
