The Legislature transferred and restructured several programs and activities during the 2005 General Session. The Constitutional Defense Council Program was transferred to the Public Lands Policy Coordinating Office as a result of passage of Senate Bill 239. The Commission on Women and Families Program was transferred to the Department of Workforce Services by 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 is reviewed by the Economic Development and Revenue Appropriations 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

    Under Section 63J-1-603 of the Utah Code, the Legislature intends that appropriations provided for the Governor's Office in Item 1 of Chapter 396 Laws of Utah 2009 not lapse at the close of fiscal year 2010.

    The Legislature intends that the Governor's Office transfer $80,000 from the Lt.Governor's Program to the State Elections Grant Fund as required to match federal Help America Vote Act grants.

Funding Detail

This line item is approximately 85 percent General Fund. Dedicated Credits and Federal Funds are primarily used by the Lt. Governor's Office program.
