NOTES

ALL FUNDS includes state taxes, federal funds, gambling revenue, ear-marked taxes and fees.
GENERAL REVENUE covers only those funds which the legislature is free to appropriate as it wishes. Some agencies (such as the departments of Transportation, Conservation and Insurance) receive little or no General Revenue. These agencies are funded totally or almost totally from ear-marked taxes and fees.
For higher education, the total funds revenue figure does not include outside funds the universities raise from fees, federal funds, tuition, etc.
Employee benefits covers health insurance, retirement and unemployment compensation benefits for some, but not all employees. Some agencies have separate compensation plans for their workers that are not covered by a statewide benefit program.
Balance is the amount of money that was collected in the prior fiscal year, but not appropriated.
Lapse is the amount of money that was appropriated, but was not actually spent during the prior fiscal year.
Tax refunds, technically, must be appropriated in Missouri and thus are placed under expenses. However, the last few adminstrations have counted them as negtative income rather than an expense.
