CONSTITUTIONAL SPENDING LIMITS

Texas has four constitutional limits on spending: the “pay-as-you-go,” or balanced budget, limit; the limit on welfare spending; thelimit on the rate of growth of appropriations from certain state taxes;and the limit on debt service. The 2004–05 budget is within all ofthese limits.

THE “PAY-AS-YOU-GO” LIMIT

Article III, § 49a of the Texas Constitution sets out the “pay-as-you-go” limit. It requires that bills making appropriations be sent to theComptroller of Public Accounts for certification that appropriationsare within available revenue. In Fall 2003, the Comptroller certifiedthat the 2004–05 General Appropriations Act and other appropriationsbills were in compliance with the “pay-as-you-go” limit. TheComptroller estimates that revenue will exceed spending from GeneralRevenue and General Revenue–Dedicated Funds for the 2004–05biennium by $113.3 million.

WELFARE SPENDING LIMIT

Article III, § 51-a of the Texas Constitution provides that theamount that may be paid out of state funds for assistance grants toor on behalf of needy dependent children and their caretakers (i.e.,Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) shall not exceed 1percent of the state budget in any biennium. The total state budgetas adopted in House Bill 1 (as modified by other legislation), by theSeventy-eighth Legislature, 2003, is $118,200.4 million. Accordingly,the 1 percent welfare spending limit is $1,182.0 million. The totalamount of state dollars appropriated for TANF grants is $177.9million, which is $1,004.1 million below the 1 percent limit.

LIMIT ON THE GROWTH OF CERTAIN APPROPRIATIONSArticle VIII, § 22 of the Texas Constitution limits the biennial rateof growth of appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicatedby the Constitution to the estimated rate of growth of the state’seconomy. On November 25, 2002, the Legislative Budget Boardestablished the following elements of the Article VIII spending limit:the estimated rate of growth of the state’s economy, the level of

SPENDING

SPENDING 39TEXAS FACT BOOK

2002–03 appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicated bythe Constitution, and the resulting 2004–05 limit. The boardinstructed staff to adjust the level of 2002–03 appropriations fromstate tax revenue not dedicated by the Constitution and 2004–05spending limit calculations to reflect subsequent 2003 appropriationscertified by the Comptroller and official revenue estimate revisionsby the Comptroller.

Actions taken in 2003 by the Seventy-eighth Legislature affected the2002–03 level of appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicatedby the Constitution. After adjusting for these actions, the 2004–05biennial limit on appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicatedby the Constitution is $52.9 billion. Appropriations for 2004–05 fromstate taxes not dedicated by the Constitution total approximately $48.0billion, $4.9 billion below the Article VIII limit. The remainder ofthe state’s $118.2 billion budget is funded with nontax revenue andconstitutionally dedicated revenue not subject to the Article VIII limit.

STATE INDEBTEDNESSTexas has a low state debt burden compared with other states, rankingfifteenth among the 15 most-populous states in state debt per capitain 2001. The Texas per capita debt burden was $787 in 2001; the USaverage was $2,025.

Texas had $17.7 billion in state bonds outstanding as of August 31,2003. General obligation bonds, which depend on the General RevenueFund for debt service, represent 32.8 percent of the total bondsoutstanding. Non–general obligation, or revenue, bonds representthe remaining 67.2 percent. Approximately 56.8 percent of theoutstanding general obligation bond indebtedness is designed to beself-supporting, although the full faith and credit of the state ispledged for its payment.

Debt service costs included in the state budget for the 2004–05biennium total $987.3 million, or 0.8 percent of total appropriations.The increase in debt service costs from the 2002–03 biennial level is$16.7 million, or 1.7 percent.

Chapter 1231 of the Government Code provides that maximumannual debt service in any fiscal year on state debt payable from theGeneral Revenue Fund may not exceed 5 percent of an amountequal to the average of the amount of General Revenue Fundrevenues, excluding revenues constitutionally dedicated for purposesother than payment of state debt, for the three immediately precedingfiscal years. Bonds and agreements not initially required to be repaidfrom General Revenue would be subject to the debt ceiling provisionif General Revenue was subsequently needed to repay the obligations.In November 1997, voters approved adding this debt service limitationto the Texas Constitution, now Article III § 49-j.

As of August 31, 2003, following the methodology of the BondReview Board, a preliminary calculation shows the debt service onoutstanding debt as a percentage of unrestricted General Revenueis 1.4 percent for fiscal year 2004. Similarly, debt service on outstandingand authorized but unissued debt as a percentage of GeneralRevenue after constitutional dedication is 2.2 percent. Accordingly,the 2004–05 budget is within the debt limit.
