FY24 Crosswalk (Back of the Bill) Adjustments Procedures

Agency allocations are in JLBC’s FY2024 Appropriations Report https://www.azjlbc.gov/current-year/ “FY 2024 Appropriations Report – July 2023 (7/12/23)”, in the ‘Crosswalk of General Appropriation Act to Appropriations Report Totals,’ pages 478-485.

FY2024 Back of the Bill Items and Adjustments must be processed as follows:

  • All transactions will be completed using Appropriation and Allotment Budget Document (BGA90), and entered and submitted electronically through AFIS by August 31, 2023. The documents will be reviewed on a first come, first served basis.
  • Back of the Bill Items and Adjustments should be entered at the full amount stated in JLBC’s FY2024 Appropriations Report.
  • Back of the Bill Items and Adjustments should be entered using the following guidelines:
    • Appropriation and Allotment Level section (for crosswalk adjustments)
      • Action = Modify
      • Event Type = BG03
      • Start Date = Leave Blank
      • End Date = Leave Blank
      • Description = Crosswalk (Field must begin with “Crosswalk”; add more information is needed.)
      • House Bill Number = Leave Blank
  • Quarterly Allotments
    • The general fund portion of any lump sum appropriations 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.
      • If an allotment exception was approved, the quarterly distribution must be entered with the approved distribution.
      • Ensure the Increase/Decrease selection in the Allotments section matches the Increase/Decrease selection in the Level 1: Appropriation and Allotment section of the BGA90.  This has been a common reason as to why GAO may have to reject BGA90s for in Crosswalk loads.
  • Only documents in Final status are complete.
