Strong Showing for State Revenues, $58 Million Above Projections

March 4, 2016 Data Viz

Thanks to a steadily growing economy, the state’s FY 2016 revenue situation remains strong. According to the Department of Administrative Services, total General and Education Fund revenue, through the end of February, is $58 million higher than what was expected at this point in time. Furthermore, this does not take into account the $19 million attributed to the tax amnesty program that ran from December 1, 2015 through February 15, 2016.

While over a dozen revenue streams flow into the General and Education Funds, three – business taxes, the meals and rooms tax, and the real estate transfer tax – have been responsible for the vast majority of the positive news. The strength of these particular taxes suggests that the New Hampshire economy is performing well overall, since these revenue streams tend to reflect trends in corporate profits, discretionary consumer spending, and household finances.

On April 5, the New Hampshire House of Representatives passed an amended version of expanded Medicaid reauthorization that modifies the work requirements outlined in the State Senate’s proposal and makes a variety of other, smaller changes. The House accepted the amendment from the House Health, Human Services, and Elderly Affairs Committee and voted to move the bill to the House Finance Committee for a second review. Approximately 52,000 low-income Granite Staters rely on expanded Medicaid for access to health care, and the State Legislature must reauthorize the program for it to continue beyond the end of this year.
