SB 275 would reduce State General Fund revenues by $10.0 million in FY 2024 and in
future fiscal years by reducing the year-end State Gaming Revenues Fund transfer to the State
General Fund by that same amount. To offset this decrease, the Economic Development Initiatives
Fund would receive an additional $2,510,000, the Juvenile Alternatives to Detention Fund would
receive an additional $500,000, and the Correctional Institutions Building Fund would receive an
additional $6,990,000 beginning in FY 2024 and in future fiscal years.
The Economic Development Initiatives Fund is used to finance economic development
activities across the state. The Department of Commerce, as the primary recipient of Economic
Development Initiatives Fund monies, indicates the bill would have no fiscal effect on its
operations. Any additional monies to the Economic Development Initiatives Fund would need to
be appropriated by the Legislature.
The Department of Corrections indicates the bill would provide additional resources to the
Juvenile Alternatives to Detention Fund and the Correctional Institutions Building Fund as noted
above. The Juvenile Alternatives to Detention Fund is currently a no-limit fund that finances
facilities or programs that provide an alternative to the detention of juveniles in local jails. The
Correctional Institutions Building Fund is a state fund dedicated to the maintenance and upkeep
of the adult correctional facilities. Any additional monies to the Correctional Institutions Building
Fund would need to be appropriated by the Legislature. The Department indicates that any
additional funding would be used to address the $338.0 million in repairs needed at its facilities,
including $164.0 million for immediate needs and $174.0 million for needs within the next ten
years.
The Kansas Lottery indicates the bill would have no fiscal effect on its operations. Any
fiscal effect associated with SB 275 is not reflected in The FY 2024 Governor’s Budget Report.


Sincerely,

Adam Proffitt
Director of the Budget
