KY General Fund and Road Fund receipts for September 2020 General Fund receipts rose 4.8 Percent, Year-to-Date up 5.8 Percent Road Fund receipts unchanged, Year-to-Date up 1.9 Percent By John Hicks/Greg Harkenrider Frankfort, KY - State Budget Director John Hicks reported today that General Fund receipts rose 4.8 percent in September with revenues of $1,115.4 million. This compares to $1,064.5 million collected in September 2019. So far this fiscal year (FY21), the General Fund has grown 5.8 percent. September closes out the first quarter of the fiscal year and collections have rebounded from the fourth quarter of FY20 in which collections fell 4.5 percent due to the effects of COVID-19. The official General Fund revenue estimate for FY21 calls for revenue to grow 0.3 percent compared to FY20 actual receipts. Based on September's results, General Fund revenues can decline 1.4 percent for the remainder of the fiscal year and still meet the official estimate. Road Fund receipts for September totaled $131.1 million and were unchanged from September 2019 levels. For the first three months of the fiscal year, collections have risen 1.9 percent. Like the General Fund, receipts in the first quarter represent a significant improvement from the previous quarter in which Road Fund revenues fell 23.6 percent.
