House Bill 530 Budget Corrections & Capital Re-appropriations Capital re-appropriations from the 2005 / 2006 capital biennium (and some originating prior). These re-appropriations total roughly $1.7 billion and include projects undertaken after the passage of the last capital bill (HB 16 of the 126 th General Assembly) that have yet to be completed. This total is not out of line with historic reappropriations. A few selected agency totals include: Department of Administrative Services $ 75.9 million School Facilities Commission $ 351.2 million Board of Regents $ 488.3 million Department of Development $ 83.9 million Department of Natural Resources $ 112.5 million Public Works Commission $ 371.7 million Department of Rehab and Corrections $ 105.1 million Cultural Facilities Commission $ 40.9 million New capital appropriations for the 2007 / 2008 capital biennium. As the 126 th General Assembly’s upcoming capital bill likely will not be introduced until the fall, these appropriations are necessary for the orderly continuation of various programs or are of an emergency need.
