The Appropriations Committee will meet January 7 and receive a presentation by economist Amy Baker on the state’s long-range financial outlook, which helps provide a backdrop for budget decisions.

Meanwhile, appropriations subcommittees will hold a series of meetings and receive presentations about the “base” budgets in their areas of focus, such as health and human services and education.

House panels will meet January 6 to January 8, though a handful of representatives also will take part January 5 in a Joint Legislative Auditing Committee meeting. The House and Senate also are expected to hold committee meetings the week of January 20 as they prepare for the annual session, which starts in March.
