-
The state budget and the Governor’s proposed budget
-
State revenues and expenditures
-
Revenue projections, tax structure, and future fiscal needs

The fiscal impact of proposed legislation (via fiscal notes)
To carry out its tasks, the JLBC appoints a Legislative Budget Analyst (Director) who manages staff and operations
