State Measures to Balance FY 2010 - FY 2012 Budgets

April 21, 2011

In April 2011, The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) released its State Budget Update: March 2011 report. The report shows that states faced aggregate budget gaps of at least $97.3 billion for FY 2011.  Additionally, states are facing budget gaps totaling $86.1 billion in FY 2012.  To illustrate the actual implications of these budget gaps, NCSL has put together this database detailing the proposed and enacted budget cutting and revenue increasing measures states are taking to close the gaps.
