Budget In Brief

REVENUE SHORTFALL RESERVE
The 1976 Session of the General Assembly created the Revenue Shortfall Reserve (RSR) in lieu of the Working Reserve. This reserve acts as a savings account or "rainy day" fund for the state should revenue collections decline unexpectedly or uncontrollably.
HB 509 passed during the 2005 Session of the General Assembly requires that all state general funds surplus existing at the end of each fiscal year be reserved and added to the RSR. Funds in the RSR are carried forward from fiscal year to fiscal year, without reverting to the general fund at the end of the fiscal year. The General Assembly may appropriate out of the RSR up to 1% of prior year revenues to fund K-12 needs in the amended budget. The Governor may release for appropriations an amount of funds from the RSR that are in excess of 4% of the net revenues of the preceding fiscal year. The RSR must not exceed 10% of the previous fiscal years net revenue for any given fiscal year.
The status of the reserve, as of the end of the fiscal year, for the last 12 years is presented below.

Budget In Brief

LOTTERY RESERVES
Georgia's lottery law require the establishment of two reserves that are funded as a percentage of lottery collections. These reserve were established to avoid disruption in programs should collections fall short of annual appropriations.
The Shortfall Reserve Subaccount is an amount to be set aside each year equal to 10% of the prior year's total lottery proceeds and deposited into the Lottery for Education Account. If net funds in this account are not sufficient to meet appropriations, funds shall be drawn from the reserve to make up the shortage.
Funds have been set aside for the Shortfall Reserve Subaccount (10% reserve) each year and totaled $75,155,700 on June 30, 2004.
The lottery law was amended during the 1994 legislative session to require that a second reserve account within the Lottery for Education Account be established called the Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount. The law requires that a reserve equal to 50% of the amount of scholarship proceeds disbursed during the preceding year be maintained. This reserve was established to avoid disruption in HOPE Scholarship programs should collections fall short of annual appropriations. The subaccount balance on June 30, 2004 totaled $188,758,757.
The two lottery reserves as of June 30, 2004 total as follows:
