Under the Oregon Constitution, the task of appropriating money to state agencies is given to the Oregon Legislative Assembly, which must write a budget for a two-year cycle. This process is led by the Joint Committee on Ways and Means. For this most recent session, the Ways and Means Committee compiled a budget that covers the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2011 – a time period referred to as the 2009-11 biennium.
(More detail on the budget process)
The budget is based on revenue projections for the next two years provided quarterly by the Department of Administrative Services, Office of Economic Analysis. Historically, the Legislature bases its budget on the forecast released on May 15th during the regular legislative session. In the forecast released February 20th, General Fund and Lottery revenues available for the 2009-11 biennium were projected to total $14 billion.
(March 2009 Economic and Revenue Forecast)
Based on early estimates by the Legislative Fiscal Office, about $17.1 billion was needed to maintain state services at their current level through the 2009-11 biennium.
(Summary Analysis of the 2009-11 Governor's Budget)
In anticipation of this $3.1 billion budget gap, the Co-Chairs of the Joint Committee on Ways and Means asked state agencies to provide the Legislative Fiscal Office with proposed budget cuts totaling 30% from their 2009-11 essential budget level.
(Analysis of the 2009-11 Essential Budget Level)
The Joint Committee on Ways and Means considered the agency-proposed 30% reduction lists below as part of the development of the 2009-11 balanced state budget.

In the next step in developing a budget for the 2009-11 biennium, the Co-Chairs of the Joint Committee on Ways and Means produced a budget outline with three scenarios. Each of these scenarios consisted of a different mix of reserve funds, new revenues, and program reductions. A more detailed proposed budget was developed after the next revenue forecast was released on May 15th.
(2009-11 Co-Chair Budget Outline)
The Joint Committee on Ways and Means held a series of public hearings in the communities listed below to take public input on the agency proposed reduction lists. A Summary of Testimony shows the number of people who testified and the diversity of topics presented during the public hearings on the budget.
