Introduction

The Comparison Document provides brief descriptions and fiscal estimates of the provisions that make up the executive recommended version and

subsequent versions of the biennial main operating budget bill of the 131st General Assembly, House Bill 64. The document is arranged in alphabetical order by state agency. It also includes two nonagency items for which appropriations are made, Employee Benefits Fund (PAY) and Revenue Distribution Funds (RDF), as well as a Local Government Provisions (LOC) section for provisions that affect local governments and that are not entered in other agency sections. Finally, there is a Miscellaneous (MIS) section for provisions that do not fit well in other sections. A Table of Contents follows this Introduction. Two indices are located at the end of the document. The first index gives the page number of each particular item within the sections; the second index lists cross-references by agency.

Generally within an agency's section, items that involve Revised Code changes come first, followed by items that involve uncodified (i.e., temporary) law provisions. The sections for the Department of Education and the Department of Taxation are first arranged by general topic areas. If an item affects more than one agency, it is described under one of the affected agencies, rather than all of the agencies. However, the other agencies are listed in the cross-referencing index at the end of the document. This index lists, for each agency, all entries that affect the agency but are not included in that agency's section as well as the page numbers for these entries. A reader who is interested in all provisions affecting a certain agency should consult the cross-referencing index in addition to the agency's section.

Each item is assigned a unique identification number. This number begins with an agency's three-letter Central Accounting System (CAS) code followed by a comparison document reference ("CD") and a number (TAXCD15, for example). A reader who wants to track an item across several versions of the Comparison Document may find the identification number useful.

Items affected by the Governor's vetoes are noted by either the words "VETOED" or "PARTIALLY VETOED" in the item's subject line. Within the item description, vetoed components are contained within the bracketed text. However, fiscal entries for the vetoed or partially vetoed items do not reflect the effects of the vetoes. The Comparison Document does not include appropriation amounts for the agencies. Please see the Legislative Service Commission's Budget in Detail spreadsheet for that information. For a complete discussion of the statutory changes in H.B. 64, see the Legislative Service Commission's Bill Analysis.
