36 spendIng texas fact book

constItutIonal spendIng lIMItstexas has four constitutional limits on spending: the “pay-as-you-go,” or balanced budget, limit; the limit on the rate of growth of appropriations from certain state taxes; the limit on welfare spending; and the limit on debt service. the 2008–09 budget is within all of these limits after appropriate legislative action.

the “paY-as-You-go” lIMItarticle III, section 49a of the texas constitution sets out the “pay-as-you-go” limit. It requires that bills making appropriations be sent to the Comptroller of Public Accounts for certification that appropriations are within available revenue. In fall 2007, the Comptroller certified that the 2008–09 General Appropriations act and other appropriations bills were in compliance with the “pay-as-you-go” limit. the comptroller estimates that revenue will exceed spending from general revenue funds and general revenue–dedicated funds for the 2008–09 biennium by approximately $2 billion, after a $3 billion transfer to the property tax relief fund.

lIMIt on the groWth of certaIn approprIatIonsarticle vIII, section 22 of the texas constitution limits the biennial rate of growth of appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicated by the constitution to the estimated rate of growth of the state’s economy. on January 11, 2007, the legislative budget board established the following elements of the article vIII spending limit: the estimated rate of growth of the state’s economy, the level of 2006–07 appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicated by the constitution, and the resulting 2008–09 limit. the board instructed staff to adjust the level of 2006–07 appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicated by the constitution and the resulting 2008–09 spending limit calculation to reflect subsequent appropriations certified by the Comptroller and official revenue estimate revisions by the comptroller.

actions taken in 2007 by the eightieth legislature affected the 2006–07 level of appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicated by the constitution. after adjusting for these actions and revenue estimate revisions by the comptroller, the adjusted 2008–09 biennial limit on appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicated by the constitution is $62 billion. the legislature

also passed senate concurrent resolution 20, which authorized appropriations of $14.2 billion in excess of the 2008–09 limit to fund school district property tax reductions.

consequently, the total amount of appropriations authorized by article vIII, section 22 of the texas constitution is $76.2 billion. appropriations for 2008–09 from state taxes not dedicated by the constitution are estimated to be $73.9 billion, $2.3 billion below the amount of authorized appropriations. the remainder of the state’s $167.8 billion budget is funded with nontax revenue and constitutionally dedicated tax revenue not subject to the article vIII limit.

Welfare spendIng lIMItarticle III, section 51-a of the texas constitution provides that the amount that may be paid out of state funds for assistance grants to or on behalf of needy dependent children and their caretakers (i.e., temporary assistance for needy families [tanf]) shall not exceed 1 percent of the state budget in any biennium. the total state budget as adopted in House Bill 1 (as modified by other legislation), by the eightieth legislature, 2007, is $167.8 billion. accordingly, the 1 percent welfare spending limit is $1.7 billion. the total amount of state dollars appropriated for tanf grants is $134.2 million, which is $1,543.7 million below the 1 percent limit.

state Indebtednesstexas has a low state debt burden compared with other states, ranking last among the 15 most populous states in state debt per capita in 2006. the texas per capita debt burden was $1,047 in 2006; the us average was $2,902.

texas had $26.4 billion in state bonds outstanding as of august 31, 2007. general obligation (go) bonds, which depend on the general revenue fund for debt service, account for 36.4 percent of the total bonds outstanding. non–go, or revenue, bonds comprise the remaining 63.6 percent. approximately 76.7 percent of the outstanding go bond indebtedness is designed to be self-supporting, although the full faith and credit of the state is pledged for its payment.

the eightieth legislature authorized approximately $9.8 billion in additional go bond debt that was approved by the voters at the november 2007 general election. bond debt was approved in the

following amounts:

$500 million for student loans (proposition 2); $1 billion for capital projects for certain state agencies (proposition 4); $5 billion for transportation projects (proposition 12); $3 billion for cancer research (proposition 15); and $250 million for water projects in economically distressed areas (proposition 16).

In addition, senate bill 792, eightieth legislature, 2007, increased go debt authority for the texas highway fund from $3 billion to $6 billion.

debt service costs included in the state budget for the 2008–09 biennium total $2,482.5 million, or 1.5 percent of total appropriations. the increase in debt service costs from the 2006–07 biennial level is $1,030.3 million, or 71 percent, and is primarily due to increases in debt service requirements out of the state highway and texas Mobility funds.

chapter 1231 of the texas government code provides that maximum annual debt service in any fiscal year on state debt payable from the general revenue fund may not exceed 5 percent of an amount equal to the average of the amount of general revenue fund revenues, excluding revenues constitutionally dedicated for purposes other than payment of state debt, for the three immediately preceding fiscal years. Bonds and agreements not initially required to be repaid from general revenue fund would be subject to the debt ceiling provision if general revenue funds were subsequently needed to repay the obligations. In november 1997, voters approved adding this debt service limitation to the texas constitution, now article III section 49-j.

as of august 31, 2007, following the methodology for determining the constitutional debt limit ratio by the bond review board, the debt service on outstanding debt as a percentage of unrestricted General Revenue Funds is 1.45 percent for fiscal year 2007. similarly, debt service on outstanding and authorized but unissued debt as a percentage of general revenue funds after constitutional dedication is 2 percent. accordingly, the 2008–09 budget is within the debt limit.
