DATA INTEGRITY STATEMENT
Source Data: Primary all-funds totals and source-of-funds dollars use the Rhode Island Senate Fiscal Office Budget as Enacted reports. Function dollars use the published Expenditures by Function table for that fiscal year (Senate Fiscal Office when the table is in that year's SFO report; otherwise the House Fiscal enacted function table that reconciles to the same SFO total).
Scope: This tab is the enacted all-funds state budget. Use State Spending for State Spending and Federal Awards for USASpending place-of-performance awards.
About Rhode Island State Budget & Spending Data
This page is built from three separate datasets: the Enacted Budget, by department; Actual Spending, reported afterwards; and Federal Awards paid into Rhode Island. The Money Map view traces funding sources through departments to the recipients at the end.
An Enacted Budget by department for the smallest state in the union, with Federal Awards detail. Every figure is taken from the published record — ImpactLine adds no estimates and fills no gaps a government has left. See the methodology and sources.
