The House-Senate conference report for the FY 2002-2003 Department of Arts, History, and Libraries budget, with $59.5 million in gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state "restricted" fund and federal pass-through dollars), compared to $74.5 million, which was the FY 2001-2002 amount enacted in 2001, excluding any supplemental appropriations.

The conference report includes a number of specific line item “cuts,” including $11.9 million from arts and culture grants. However, these would restored if a tobacco tax is approved. It also provides for a one-percent department-wide operational expenses cut, with the specifics to be determined by the department.

The conference report includes a number of specific line item cuts, including $11.9 million from arts and culture grants, but states that these would be suspended if the tobacco and cigarette tax is increased. This tax increase has been approved, so the actual appropriations will be higher than the nominal line item amounts. It also provides for a one-percent department-wide operational expenses cut, with the specifics to be determined by the department.
