Revenue estimating resolution
This bill establishes official revenue estimates for Montana's state budget, setting specific figures for general fund revenue across fiscal years 2025-2027 ($3.27 billion, $3.53 billion, and $3.57 billion, respectively). It directly affects state budget planning by requiring the Governor's Office of Budget and Program Planning to use these estimates for fiscal year 2025-2027, as mandated by Montana law. The resolution also accepts a $1.03 billion preliminary unassigned general fund balance from fiscal year 2024. These estimates, developed with input from the Revenue Interim Committee and fiscal analysts, provide the baseline for all state budget decisions during this period.
