    Newark, NJ
    Other

    This document excerpts the Senator Byron M. Baer Open Public Meetings Act, a New Jersey law (originally enacted in 1975 and amended in 2006) that establishes the public's right to attend and observe meetings of public bodies. The Legislature declares that public transparency is vital to democratic functioning and establishes state policy requiring advance notice and public access to all meetings where public business is discussed or decided, except in limited circumstances where the public interest or personal privacy would be endangered. The act defines "public body" as multi-member voting bodies organized under state law with authority to spend public funds or affect individual rights, while explicitly excluding informal advisory bodies, executive meetings with subordinates, and specific entities such as the judiciary and political party organizations.

  • The 2024-2025 Texas Budget Shannon Halbrook, Senior Fiscal Analyst, Every Texan

    Austin, TX
    Budget

    The 2024-2025 Texas Budget, signed by Governor Abbott on June 18, 2023, allocates approximately $321 billion from all funds and $144 billion in general revenue for the two-year period from September 1, 2023, to August 31, 2025. The Legislature began the session with $188.2 billion in general revenue, including a record $32.7 billion carryover balance and $23.5 billion in the state's rainy-day fund. While the budget shows 10% and 6% increases in general revenue and all funds respectively compared to the previous biennium, the analysis notes that after adjusting for inflation and population growth, actual spending increases are considerably smaller, and lawmakers prioritized property tax cuts over long-overdue investments in public education and health care despite the surplus opportunity.
