SB 5994: State expenditure limits

Limiting state spending to the growth in personal income.

Summary

Finds that a limit based on growth in the state personal income will recognize not only the growth in population and inflation but also the economic productivity of our economy and therefore better balance the needs of the citizens for essential government services with the obligation of the legislature for strict spending accountability and protection of its taxpayers.
