1     For the purposes of Article VIII, Section 2 of the 1970

4 measurement concepts that are in concert with generally
5 accepted accounting principles for governments:
6         (1) General Revenue Fund.
7         (2) Common School Fund.
8         (3) Educational Assistance Fund.
9         (4) Road Fund.
10         (5) Motor Fuel Tax Fund.
11         (6) Agricultural Premium Fund.
12     These funds shall be known as the "budgeted funds". The
13 revenue estimates used in the State budget for the budgeted
14 funds shall include the estimated beginning fund balance, plus
15 revenues estimated to be received during the budgeted year,
16 plus the estimated receipts due the State as of June 30 of the
17 budgeted year that are expected to be collected during the
18 lapse period following the budgeted year, minus the receipts
19 collected during the first 2 months of the budgeted year that
20 became due to the State in the year before the budgeted year.
21 Revenues shall also include estimated federal reimbursements
22 associated with the recognition of Section 25 of the State
23 Finance Act liabilities. For any budgeted fund for which
24 current year revenues are anticipated to exceed expenditures,
25 the surplus shall be considered to be a resource available for
26 expenditure in the budgeted fiscal year.

11 between funds that are based on revenues received or costs
12 incurred during the budget year.
