  2. Lieutenant Governor's Office

The Legislature transferred and restructured several programs and activities during the 2005 General Session. The Constitutional Defense Council Program and funding were transferred to the Public Lands Policy Coordinating Office as a result of passage of Senate Bill 239, 2005 General Session, 'Public Lands Policy Coordination.' The Commission on Women and Families Program and funding were transferred to the Department of Workforce Services as a result of Legislative action. The Legislature also restructured the Department of Community and Economic Development and created the Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED). GOED is now a line item within the Governor's budget. But this budget is heard and reviewed by the Economic Development and Human Resources Subcommittee.

During the 2006 General Session, the Elections Line Item funding was transferred to the newly created Lieutenant Governor's Office Program within the Governor's Office Line Item. The Notary Public Function was also transferred to the Lieutenant Governor's Office Program. It had previously been reported as part of the Administration Program within the Governor's Office.

Intent Language

    The Legislature intends that the Lieutenant Governor's Office implement provisions of "Election Law - Ballot Proposition Amendments" (H.B. 126, 2008 General Session) using resources provided in Item 6 of "State Agency and Higher Education Base Budget Appropriations" (S.B. 1, 2008 General Session).

Funding Detail

The Governor's Office line item budget is 85 percent from the General Fund, 8 percent from Oil Overcharge Funds and 9 percent from Dedicated Credits and Federal Funds revenues.
