The executive recommendation for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2003-2004 Department of Community Health budget. This appropriates $9.048 billion in gross spending (funded from all sources, including state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars), compared to $9.730 billion, which was the FY 2002-2003 amount passed by the legislature in 2002, excluding any supplemental appropriations, line-item vetoes, or later cuts. Of this, $2.583 billion will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2002-2003 amount enrolled in 2002 of $2.477 billion.
