Notes: 

Data are as of September 3, 2009.

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 2010. The additional mid-year gap represents shortfalls that states are facing in addition to the pre-budget shortfalls faced at the time states adopted their SFY2010 budgets.

Sources: 

"New Fiscal Year Brings No Relief From Unprecedented State Budget Problems," Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, September 3, 2009. Available at: http://www.cbpp.org/9-8-08sfp.htm.

Definitions: 

NA: Not Applicable.

Footnotes: 
  1. State has not adopted a FY2010 budget as of July 24, 2009.
  2. The mid-year shortfall for California differs from the often-cited $26.3 billion figure because it does not include the $5.8 billion of potential revenues affected by the May ballot measures to avoid double counting and does not include $1 billion to be deposited in reserve.
  3. At least $3.2 billion of the $13.2 billion gap in Illinois has not been closed.
  4. Oregon has a two-year budget. The size of the projected shortfall is shown in Table 2 (see data source).
