Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
HB2218 reduces the budget of the State of West Virginia by 1% per year (starting in FY 2016) and in each succeeding fiscal year for the next 10 years.
The Governor's proposed FY 2016 budget for all "appropriated" accounts totals $12,528,391,000.
A 1% reduction would reduce the FY 2016 appropriations by $-125,283,910, resulting in a FY 2016 appropriated budget of $12,403,107,090.
If reductions were applied to each funding source proportionally, then
General Revenue FY16 appropriations would be reduced by $-43,215,760,
Road Fund FY16 appropriations would be reduced by $-11,743,920,
Special Revenue FY16 appropriations would be reduced by $-18,901,020,
Lottery Fund FY16 appropriations would be reduced by $-1,363,260,
Excess Lottery Fund FY16 appropriations would be reduced by $-3,003,810,
Federal Revenue FY16 appropriations would be reduced by $-47,056,140.

Memorandum
This fiscal note assumes that appropriation reductions would be based upon the total amount appropriated.
There are many appropriations that are statutorily required (School Aid Formula, debt service, etc.) and therefore, if not changed in statute, would have to be exempted from cuts, which would have the effect of cutting other appropriations by more than 1%.
Also, under this bill,Federal funds could not be totally spent and, in some cases, would revert back to the Federal Government.
