FY22 appropriations per Laws 2021, 55th Legislature, 1st Regular Session, Chapter 408, SB1823 and Chapter 406, SB1820 may be entered in AFIS and submitted to the GAO for processing.
 

If there is an exigent business need to make specific expenditures on or around July 1, 2021, please consider entering a BGA90 document specific to these appropriation(s). In addition, please email [email protected] with the document you would like prioritized. We will make every effort to accommodate the request.

FY22 appropriations must be processed as follows:

• FY22 general appropriations act, Sections 3 through 98, supplemental loads and capital outlay are to be entered on separate documents.  Appropriation and Allotment Budget Documents (BGA90) entered and submitted through AFIS to the GAO will be reviewed on a first come, first serve basis.  Keep in mind that any BGA90 document with Alternative Allotment Requests will route to OSPB for review/approval before GAO receives the BGA90 to begin its review process (see the last bullet in this section).
• Any appropriations received that are incomplete, will be reviewed, but may not be available on the first processing date in AFIS for FY22. 
• It is recommended that the Header section of the BGA90 is left blank.  Dates entered in the Header section will override dates in other sections of the BGA90 document when the validate button is clicked.
• All appropriations should be entered as the full amount enacted with any reductions processed separately.
• Appropriations should be entered using the following guidelines related to FY22 appropriations.

• The general fund portion of any lump sum appropriation should be entered by quarter in the following order: 30%, 22%, 22%, and 26%.  All other funding sources and line items should be 25% for each of the four quarters. Quarter 5 is to be set up for each appropriation document at 0% to allow transaction processing in the following fiscal year (i.e. administrative adjustments).  
• Only documents in ‘Submitted’ status are complete. Any other status may require further action to complete the load.
• Agencies requesting alternative allotment schedules may submit their detailed change requests as part of the appropriation load process. All allotment change requests will be submitted to the Governor’s Office of Strategic Planning and Budgeting (OSPB). Agencies must note proposed allotment changes by using Event Type: BGE1 and uploading the request letter to the corresponding Appropriation and Allotment Budget Document (BGA90). 

Any remaining FY21 supplemental loads and reductions must be entered and submitted to the GAO and will be reviewed on a first come, first serve basis.

Additional appropriation load instructions are available in the Appropriation Budget section of the AFIS Budget training materials.
