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.

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: Shortfall Reserve Subaccount Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount TOTAL: LOTTERY RESERVES $75,155,700 188,758,757 $263,914,457 AFY 2005 - FY 2006 12 Budget In Brief LOTTERY FUNDS SUMMARY Use of Lottery Funds PRE-KINDERGARTEN Pre-Kindergarten - Grants Pre-Kindergarten - Personal Services Pre-Kindergarten - Operations Subtotal SCHOLARSHIPS HOPE Financial Aid - Tuition, Books and Fees HOPE Scholarships - Private Colleges Accel Georgia Military College Scholarship Public Safety Memorial Grant Teacher Scholarships PROMISE Scholarship PROMISE II Scholarship Engineer Scholarships HOPE Administration Subtotal TOTAL: LOTTERY FOR EDUCATION FUNDS Agency Early Care & Learning Early Care & Learning Early Care & Learning Student Finance Student Finance Student Finance Student Finance Student Finance Student Finance Student Finance Student Finance Student Finance Student Finance Amended FY 2005 $269,169,866 2,168,985 4,909,478 $276,248,329 $430,873,688 45,388,740 6,000,000 770,477 255,850 5,332,698 5,855,278 374,590 760,000 5,032,457 $500,643,778 $776,892,107 FY 2006 $282,856,695 2,285,735 4,938,878 $290,081,308 $451,636,010 45,751,850 6,000,000 770,477 255,850 5,332,698 5,855,278 74,590 760,000 5,111,697 $521,548,450 $811,629,758 Lottery For Education Fund Amended FY 2005 PreKindergarten $276,248,329 36% Lottery For Education Fund FY 2006 Pre- Kindergarten $290,081,308 36% Scholarships and Grants $500,643,778 64% Scholarships and Grants $521,548,450 64% AFY 2005 - FY 2006 13 Budget In Brief TOBACCO SETTLEMENT FUNDS SUMMARY Use of Tobacco Funds RURAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OneGeorgia Authority HEALTHCARE Direct Healthcare Medicaid Expansion for Pregnant Women and Infants PeachCare for Kids Expansion for Children Independent Care Waiver Program Critical Access Hospital Reimbursement School Nurses Community Care Services Program Home and Community Based Services for the Elderly AIDS Drug Assistance Program Mental Retardation Waiver Programs Subtotal Population Based Healthcare Newborn Hearing Screening Early Intervention for At-Risk Families Chronic Disease Prevention Program Subtotal Georgia Cancer Coalition Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Public Education Campaign Smoking Prevention and Cessation Nursing Consultants (DHR Central Office) Cancer Screening Cancer Treatment for Low-income Uninsured Cancer Registry Eminent Cancer Scientists and Clinicians Bioinformatics Lab Equipment and software Coalition Staff GCC Information System Requirements GCC New Initiatives Agency Amended FY 2005 Agency FY 2006 DCA $47,123,333 DCA $47,123,333 DCH DCH DCH DCH DCH DHR DHR DHR DHR DHR DHR DHR DCH DHR DHR DHR DHR DHR DHR BOR BOR BOR BOR OPB $13,999,451 4,970,705 2,143,025 3,500,000 30,000,000 4,191,806 3,808,586 1,226,667 10,255,138 DCH DCH DCH DCH DCH DHR DHR DHR DHR $74,095,378 $2,000,000 3,341,218 1,350,000 DHR DHR DHR $6,691,218 $3,474,205 251,373 12,482,622 203,875 1,757,364 3,547,455 350,000 4,840,000 60,000 1,295,889 47,288 DCH DHR DHR DHR DHR DHR DHR OPB BOR OPB BOR OPB $13,999,451 4,970,705 2,143,025 3,500,000 30,000,000 4,191,806 3,808,586 1,226,667 10,255,138 $74,095,378 $2,000,000 3,341,218 1,350,000 $6,691,218 $3,474,205 3,205,245 1,757,364 3,547,455 350,000 6,342,377 1,365,177 2,775,000 AFY 2005 - FY 2006 14 Budget In Brief TOBACCO SETTLEMENT FUNDS SUMMARY Use of Tobacco Funds Agency Medical College of Georgia: Eminent Cancer Scholar Medical College of Georgia: Cancer Center Enhancement Enforcement/Compliance for Underage Smoking Subtotal Total: Healthcare TOTAL: TOBACCO SETTLEMENT FUNDS Tobacco Settlement Receipts Tobacco Reserves (Held by OneGeorgia Authority) Total Tobacco Settlement Funds Appropriated Funds by Department Department of Community Affairs (DCA) Department of Community Health (DCH) Department of Human Resources (DHR) Board of Regents (BOR) Department of Revenue (DOR) Office of Planning and Budget (OPB) Total BOR BOR DOR Amended FY 2005 Agency 150,000 BOR BOR DOR $28,460,071 $109,246,667 $156,370,000 $47,123,333 58,087,386 44,766,104 6,243,177 150,000 $156,370,000 FY 2006 750,000 5,000,000 150,000 $28,716,823 $109,503,419 $156,626,752 $156,626,752 $156,626,752 $47,123,333 58,087,386 35,033,479 5,750,000 150,000 10,482,554 $156,626,752 AFY 2005 - FY 2006 15 Budget In Brief EDITOR'S NOTES LINE ITEM VETOES BY THE GOVERNOR VETOES IN HB 85 FY 2006 GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT Section 8, pertaining to the Prosecuting Attorneys, page 5 of 85: In the appropriations for the Prosecuting Attorneys, the Prosecuting Attorney's Council Program is to be appropriated $5,465,257.
