                          BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
                   (Executive Budget: pp. 349-350)

The Temporary State Commission on Lobbying monitors, maintains, and
publicly discloses the identities, activities, and expenditures of
lobbyists in their attempt to influence the legislative process.  The
Commission also collects, maintains, and discloses the records of
appearance before State regulatory agencies.  It is empowered to hold
hearings and impose civil penalty fines on lobbyists for violations
of the Lobbying Law.

The agency is included in the Public Protection and General Government
appropriation bill.

State Operations

The Executive recommends an All Funds appropriation of $1,430,000 for
State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2002-03, an increase of $200,000 or 16.3
percent over the SFY 2001-02 funding level.

The Executive proposes the following:

--     a $85,000 net increase in State Operations funding to reflect
       salary adjustments and other costs associated with agency
       operations;

--     a $85,000 decrease in agency personal service expenditures
       associated with savings achieved by elimination of two FTE
       funded vacancies and related nonpersonal service.

The Executive recommends a Special Revenue Other nonpersonal service
funding of $200,000 increase for the e-filing pilot project.  The
funding reflects an increase of $100,000 or 100 percent from SFY 2001-
02 and is associated with increased civil penalty fines assessed for
violation of the Lobbying Act.
