About this report: For the newest measures, those enacted in the 2013 legislative session, DLS fiscal analysts project revenue estimates through FY 2018. However, that is not the case for earlier measures such as the 2007 tax and fee increases. Those revenues are no longer segregated as they were upon final passage. In those instances, four-year cumulative totals were divided by fiscal year to derive an average which was then multiplied by the number of years they will have been in effect. In more recent years, revenues are projected, in many cases, to more recent fiscal years but not necessarily through FY 2018. In those instances, the most recent fiscal year estimate was assumed to be the baseline of revenues the state collects in subsequent years. Some taxes and fees are not subject to standard legislative processes. This includes measures embedded in the BRFA (Budget Reconciliation and Finance Act) and the 2011 toll increases. In these cases, the best available information is used based on available government data.
