December 2018

Budget Year

With the swearing in of members of the Minnesota Legislature on January 8th, the 2019 legislative session is underway. Its main task before adjournment in May will be the creation of an operating budget for the state of Minnesota. As vigorous discussions about the state budget get underway, several information sources may provide valuable assistance in understanding current fiscal and economic conditions and the state budget process. A good starting point is to not get totally lost in a sea of fiscal terms and acronyms. House Fiscal Analysis has released an updated version of A Glossary of Fiscal Terms & Acronyms to keep you sharp in committee hearings.

You may have already reviewed the always-much-anticipated November Economic Forecast, but don’t miss some of Minnesota Management & Budget’s other forecast reports: Debt Capacity Forecast and Revenue Forecast Uncertainty Report. And the State of Minnesota Comprehensive Annual Financial Report provides a discussion and analysis of Minnesota’s financial performance and activities for the 2018 fiscal year.

The Legislative Reference Library regularly compiles historical resources that provide context and perspective on issues of importance to the legislature and state government. Two new resources we published this fall provide a historical perspective on the state budget. Major Appropriations Bills and Laws, 1995-present may come in handy this year. Relying on sources from the House Fiscal Analysis Department, Senate Counsel, Research, and Fiscal Analysis, and the Library's vetoes database, we compiled a chronological list of major appropriations bills and laws from 1995 to the present, including bills that received line item or full vetoes.

The second resource to note is our Minnesota Governor's Proposed Biennial Operating Budget page, which includes digital versions of proposed operating budget documents back to the late 1990s. (Older proposed operating budgets are also available in print in the Library.) These two new pages complement our Minnesota Governor’s Proposed Capital Budget page, which includes digital versions of all proposed capital budget documents back to 1975.
