Joint Legislative Budget Committee

The Joint Legislative Budget Committee reviewed the staff budget recommendation and adopted the 2025 general fund revenue estimate, capital expense funds, and ARA. The committee discussed the state's economic outlook, anticipating a slowdown in growth in 2024 and 2025 due to factors such as tightening financial conditions and the effects of individual income tax rate decreases. There was discussion regarding the impact of interest rates on the economy and the implications for the budget.
