Senate Roll Call 3: Passed

To transfer $116.3 million in unspent 2005 state revenue from the General Fund to the Budget Stabilization Fund (BSF or "rainy day fund"), and also spend an additional $21.5 million on home heating subsidies paid to households with income levels below a certain amount. This $21.5 million comes from extra money paid by ratepayers (customers) to major utility companies under so-called "utility competition" laws.
