October revenue came in at $206.3 million, which is $10 million less than predicted. Fiscal-year-to-date general fund collections are at $874.7 million, which is $6.9 million — or less than a percentage point — below the state’s forecast.
The general fund is the main bank account the Legislature uses to fund state agencies. Lawmakers watch these revenue numbers to see how much money can be appropriated to certain programs each budget cycle.
