Notes:	Data are as of July 15, 2010. This table describes which states are facing shortfalls or budget gaps where revenues will fall short of the amount needed to fund current services for state fiscal year 2009. The additional mid-year gap represents shortfalls that states are facing in addition to the shortfalls faced at the time states adopted their SFY2009 budgets. In most cases these shortfalls have already been addressed.
