Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of three months or less at acquisition. At June 30, 2018, restricted and designated cash and investments totaled $22.9 million, of which $2.8 million was included in other current assets and $20.1 million was included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Restricted and designated cash and investments totaled $30.7 million at December 31, 2017, of which $7.9 million was included in other current assets and $22.8 million was included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance

sheet.  The restricted funds represent deposits required by state agencies for self-insurance purposes and designated funds that are earmarked for a specific purpose and not for general business use.
