The House budget rejects this. 2 The Governor's Budget proposed the elimination of funding from the General Fund for this program. The House budget restores some or all of the current funding. 3 The Governor's Budget proposed creating a multimodal transportation fund to include these expenditures. The House budget returns the programs to the General Fund. 4 This is a new program proposed in the House budget. 5 The Governor's Budget flat funded the Judiciary in 2013-14 at 2012-13 levels. The House budget proposes small increases to all Judiciary funding (1-2%) 6 The Governor's Budget cut legislative expenses and support expenses. The House budget restores funding and in most cases increases it 1-2% from 2012-13 levels. 7 State contributions toward school employees' pension and social security costs were able to be reduced due to an accumulated surplus in the restricted account used to reimburse school districts for portions of their expenses. The surplus accumulated due to the reduction in the number of school employees in recent years.
