Introduced by Sen. Jim Barcia (D-31)

The executive recommendation for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2003-2004 Department of Agriculture budget. This appropriates $78.3 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $85.5 million, which was the FY 2002-2003 amount enrolled in 2002, excluding any supplemental appropriations, line-item vetoes, or later cuts. Of this, $31.4 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2002-2003 amount enrolled in 2002 of $38.4 million.
