Each November, in accordance with state statute, the Connecticut General Assembly's Office of Fiscal Analysis produces a Fiscal Accountability Report. According to statute, the report must explain: (1) the level of spending changes from current year spending allowed by consensus revenue estimates, (2) any changes to current year spending necessary because of “fixed cost drivers,” and (3) the total change to current year spending required to accommodate fixed cost drivers without exceeding current revenue estimates.

Reports, Statements, and Related Materials (Connecticut Spending Cap Commission)

Jan 21, 2017

Established by section 24 of Conn. Acts 15-1 (December Special Session), the Spending Cap Commission was "charged with creating, for the purposes of the state's constitutional general budget expenditures requirements, proposed definitions of (1) 'increase in personal income,' (2) 'increase in inflation,' and (3) 'general budget expenditures.'" The 24-member Commission, however, did not issue an official final report because its members were unable to agree on a set of recommendations for defining the three items outlined in the Commission's charge.
