Lawmakers were expected this week to begin discussing the state’s two 2025 fiscal budgets, committee chairmen said.

Gov. Kay Ivey in February proposed a $3.3 billion General Fund for 2025, an 8.16% increase over the current year. Her education spending proposal is $9.3 billion, a 6% increase. Along with the regular budgets, there are two supplemental spending plans for one-time money available this fiscal year. The education supplemental is $651.2 million, the General Fund supplemental is $189.7 million.

The education budget this session starts in the House, sponsored by Education Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Danny Garrett, R-Trussville.
