FY 2018-19 Budget Package and Long Bill Narrative

The Long Bill Narrative is prepared by the staff to explain funding decisions recommended by the JBC to the rest of the General Assembly.  This document is a companion document to the actual Long Bill.  This narrative describes all of the budget changes statewide, by department, and by program, and provides detailed calculations of the spending and revenue limits.  This explanation does not reflect any subsequent changes to the Long Bill as it is amended by the Senate or House of Representatives.
