This forecast was adjusted for legislation passed in 2011, divided into monthly estimates and certified to the Clerk of the Legislature by the Tax Commissioner and Legislative Fiscal Analyst on July 12, 2011. On October 27, the forecasting board met and revised the forecast for the current year upward by $51.9 million. By law, only downward revisions to the forecast are certified, thus the comparisons made in this release are made on the basis of the forecast certified on July 12.
