AN ACT IMPLEMENTING THE REVENUE ITEMS IN THE BUDGET AND MAKING BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS, DEFICIENCY APPROPRIATIONS, CERTAIN REVISIONS TO BILLS OF THE CURRENT SESSION AND MISCELLANEOUS CHANGES TO THE GENERAL STATUTES.

AMENDMENT

LCO No.: 8602

Agency Affected	Fund-Effect	FY 11
Treasurer	GF - Revenue Loss	See Below

Note: GF=General Fund

Municipal Impact: None

Explanation

The amendment requires that any unappropriated FY 11 surplus first be used to return to electric ratepayers the $40 million remitted to the General Fund between January 1, 2011 and June 30, 2011 under the provisions of PA 10-179. This precludes use of the $40 million for either of the two purposes currently authorized in the state constitution, including: (1) contribution to the Budget Reserve (Rainy Day) Fund and (2) reduction of bonded indebtedness.
