assistance.                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                
Next, the bill would provide for funds received by gift, bequest, or

the fund balances would be deposited into the general fund on the bill's                                                        
effective date of July 1, 2019. The proliferation of designated funds                                                           
over the years causes complexities in budgeting, and failure to apply a                                                         
fresh look at state spending. Removing these funds will contribute to a                                                         
more transparent annual budget analysis.                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                
I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure.
