Foreword Dear friends, 2020 is a year that will be remembered, even if those of us who lived through it would like to forget much of it. The events of the year — the largest public health crisis in a century and the greatest economic upheaval since the Great Depression — tested government institutions and provided vast opportunities for leadership in a crisis. These disrupters caused unspeakable pain, suffering and death while wreaking havoc on state government budgets. Out of disruption often comes innovation. The research capacity of our universities helped advance our understanding of the coronavirus and how to best treat those infected or at risk of infection. State governments responded in novel ways, for example, by convening legislatures remotely for the first time and by deploying new ways to conduct elections and designing innovative alternatives to traditional classroom education. The pandemic forced hard choices on the states. Many governors met those hard choices with decisive leadership and emerged as national leaders relying on data, science, expertise, transparency and empathy to guide their communications and response strategies. The pandemic also poignantly exposed the stark reality of inequality in the United States. With the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis, hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets to demand reforms in policing and the criminal justice system and to protest pervasive racism. The well-documented racial disparities in education, housing, wealth, employment, health care and criminal justice propelled the Black Lives Matter movement to the forefront of the news, catalyzing a call to action. Many suggest our nation is at a transformational moment as we confront the current realities, which are a legacy of our nation’s original sin. An energized public emerged this year to bring renewed focus to the obligation we all share as citizens to carry out the purpose of our Constitution by working to create a more perfect union. Some states responded in real time passing legislation designed to create greater oversight on law enforcement and place limits on police conduct. No aspect of our lives will remain untouched by the events of 2020. From these crises it is my hope that opportunity will emerge for meaningful and overdue change. The pandemic accelerated existing trends in our society. It will also accelerate the trend of innovation in the states. With crushing debt and political gridlock, the federal government’s ability to lead on the most pressing issues is limited. States are the epicenter of innovation and many are boldly leading efforts to transform their economies, address climate change, enhance health and address infrastructure needs, including broadband access. As a result of the pandemic, states will also be innovating the way they conduct elections and how to prepare for and respond to public health needs. With eight governors and 5,000 legislative seats up for election in 2020, it is likely that states will see many new faces when the 2021 legislative sessions begin. We look forward to partnering with them in our non-partisan, data-driven, consensus-based work and invite them to join their colleagues from other states to learn from each other and to find ways to innovate together through CSG. The Council of State Governments was founded in 1933, the worst year of the Great Depression. What was true then remains true today: the states are stronger when they come together. CSG

iii


is proud of the role we have played in bringing state officials together during our nearly nine decades of service. We look forward to providing state leaders with the insights, information, assistance and intelligence they need to navigate the complexities of today’s public policy challenges. We remain committed to providing exceptional convenings and unparalleled leadership development opportunities. This edition of The Book of the States is dedicated to the many heroic state employees whose efforts during the pandemic inspired us and for which we are immensely grateful. The doctors, nurses, first responders, health care professionals, public health workers, researchers, scientists, National Guard members, educators, long-term care facility workers, corrections officers and the many other state employees who stepped up represent the best of state government. Their sacrifice, hard work, expertise, care and skill saved lives, lifted us up during dark days and gave us hope. They are the helpers, leaders and doers who made and continue to make a difference for all of us. We mourn the brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their fellow citizens. Their legacy calls all of us to embrace our obligation to serve the greater good. Do good. Be well.

David Adkins Executive Director/CEO The Council of State Governments

TABLE 1 .2 Themes and Patterns in State Constitutional Amendments Enacted in 2019 Rights Victims’ Rights: A majority of voters in Pennsylvania cast votes in favor of a Marsy’s Law victims’ rights amendment, but a week before the election, a state commonwealth court judge enjoined the counting of votes on the amendment, in a decision upheld by the state supreme court the day before the election. Therefore the amendment was not enacted. Gender equality: The Delaware legislature gave the required second approval to an equal rights amendment, declaring: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex.” Because amendments in Delaware are not submitted to voters, the amendment took effect after this second legislative approval.

Policies Tax limitations: A Texas amendment prohibits enactment of an individual income tax.

Governing institutions Emergencies: A Washington amendment expands the situations that can be deemed emergencies, in which case the legislature is permitted to take steps “as may be necessary and proper for insuring the continuity of governmental operations.’ Prior to the amendment’s passage, the legislature could take emergency action in case of an “enemy attack.” The amendment permits emergency action in response to a “catastrophic incident” as well..

TABLE 1 .3 General Information on State Constitutions (As of January 1, 2020) (continued) Source: John Dinan and The Council of State Governments, with research assistance from Wake Forest students Bradley Harper and Alec Papovich. *The constitutions referred to in this table include those Civil War documents customarily listed by the individual states. **In calculating word counts, supplemental information regarding dates of adoption and other material not formally a part of the constitution are generally excluded. ***Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands (a) The Alabama constitution includes numerous local amendments that apply to only one county. An estimated 70 percent of all amendments are local. A 1982 amendment provides that after proposal by the legislature to which special procedures apply, only a local vote (with exceptions) is necessary to add them to the constitution. (b) Computer word count. (c) The total number of Alabama amendments includes one that is commonly overlooked. (d) Eight of the approved amendments have been superseded and are not printed in the current edition of the constitution. The total adopted does not include five amendments proposed and adopted since statehood. (e) Proposed amendments are not submitted to the voters in Delaware. (f) Colonial charters with some alterations served as the first constitutions in Connecticut (1638, 1662) and in Rhode Island (1663). (g) The Georgia constitution requires amendments to be of “general and uniform application throughout the state,” thus eliminating local amendments that accounted for most of the amendments before 1982. (h) As a kingdom and republic, Hawaii had five constitutions. (i) The figure includes amendments approved by the voters and later nullified by the state supreme court in Iowa (three), Kansas (one), Nevada (six) and Wisconsin (two). (j) The figure does not include one amendment approved by the voters in 1967 that is inoperative until implemented by legislation. (k) Two sets of identical amendments were on the ballot and adopted in the 1992 Maryland election. The four amendments are counted as two in the table. (l) The printed constitution includes many provisions that have been annulled.

(m) The 1998 and 2000 Nebraska ballots allowed the voters to vote separately on “parts” of propositions. In 1998, 10 of 18 separate propositions were adopted; in 2000, 6 of 9. (n) The constitution of 1784 was extensively revised in 1792. Figure shows proposals and adoptions since the constitution was adopted in 1784. (o) The figures do not include submission and approval of the constitution of 1889 itself and of Article XX; these are constitutional questions included in some counts of constitutional amendments and would add two to the figure in each column. (p) The figures include six amendments submitted to and approved by the voters which were, by decisions of the Oklahoma or federal courts, rendered inoperative or ruled invalid, unconstitutional, or illegally submitted. (q) One Oregon amendment on the 2000 ballot was not counted as approved because canvassing was enjoined by the courts. (r) Certain sections of the constitution were revised by the limited convention of 1967-68. Amendments proposed and adopted are since 1968. (s) Following approval of eight amendments and a “rewrite” of the Rhode Island Constitution in 1986, the constitution has been called the 1986 Constitution. (t) In 1981 approximately two-thirds of the proposed and four-fifths of the adopted amendments were local. Since then the amendments have been statewide propositions. (u) The Constitution of the Republic of Texas preceded five state constitutions. (v) The number of proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution excludes three proposed by the legislature but not placed on the ballot. (w) The total excludes one amendment ruled void by a federal district court. (x) The total excludes one amendment approved by voters in November 2008 but later declared invalid on single subject grounds by the state supreme court. (y) These totals for territorial constitutions are in some cases taken from 2011 data. (z) Includes a 2019 amendment that was placed on the ballot but a court enjoined the votes from being counted.

(l) Only if legislature convenes itself. In New York, special sessions may also be called by the governor. Legislature may determine subject only if it has convened itself. In New Mexico, the constitution does not limit the subjects that may be considered in a special session that is called by the legislature. However, only those subjects specified by the governor may be considered in a specail session called by the governor. Special and extraordinary essions are limited to 30 days, but an extraordinary session may be extended if an impeachment trial is pending. (m) Odd-numbered years—not later than Wednesday after first Monday in June; even-numbered years not later than Wednesday after first Monday in May. (n) Adoption of a joint resolution by a majority of each house. (o) A regular session of the legislature shall convene on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of each odd-numbered year, and on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in March, or such other date as may be fixed by law, of each even-numbered year. (p) If three-fifths of the General Assembly certifies to governor that an emergency exists, governor must convene a special session for all purposes. (q) Constitution encourages adjournment by May 31. (r) Legislators may reconvene at any time after organizational meeting; however, second Monday in January is the final date by which regular session must be in process. (s) During the odd-year session, members convene for four days, then break until February. Any legislation introduced but not enacted in the first part of the session carries over to the second part in February. No bills carry over after sine die of any session. (t) Regular session begins after general election in even-numbered years. Session which begins in December of general election year runs into the following year (odd-numbered); second session begins in next even-numbered year. The second session is limited to budgetary matters; legislation in the governor’s call; emergency legislation; legislation referred to committee for study. (u) Statutory adjournment for the First Regular Session (beginning in December of even-numbered years and continuing into the following odd-numbered year) is the third Wednesday of June; statutory adjournment for the Second Regular Session (beginning in January of the subsequent even-numbered year) is the third Wednesday in April. The statutes provide for up to two extensions of up to five legislative days each for each session. (v) Legislative rules say formal business must be concluded by Nov. 15th of the 1st session in the biennium, or by July 31st of the 2nd session for the biennium. (w) Joint rules provide for the submission of a written statement requesting special session by a specified number of members of each chamber. (x) Special session is called by the governor. (y) 90 C sessions every year, except the first year of a gubernatorial administration during which the legislative session runs for 125 C.

STATE LE G I S LATU R E S

TABLE 3 .2 Legislative Sessions: Legal Provisions (continued) (aa) Legislature may determine the subject if it calls itself into special session. Special sessions are limited to 20 calendar days except in cases of impeachment of state and judicial officers or expulsion of a member of the Legislature. (bb) Limitation is on legislative pay and mileage. (cc) Or by joint call, presiding officers, both houses. (dd) Session officially begins on the first Wednesday following the first Monday of the new legislative term ( commencing the first of the year), and lasts until the legislature completes its business and adjourns sine die. However, over the past several years, both houses have adopted the tactic of declaring a recess at the call of the leaders, in order to facilitate easy recall of the legislature to override vetoes, etc. Over time the custom has become to formally adjourn both houses just before the new session opens. This leads to the rather interesting convention that when the governor calls the legislature into session, it is considered “special” or “executive,”even though the regular session is ongoing. (ee) Legal provision for session in odd-numbered year; however, legislature may divide, and in practice has divided, to meet in even-numbered years as well. (ff) The Oregon Constitution establishes a maximum of 160 calendar days for an odd-year regular session and a maximum of 35 calendar days for an even-year regular session. Each regular session may be extended in five-day increments by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of each house. (gg) Unless Monday is a legal holiday; in second year, the General Assembly convenes on the same date. (hh) Sessions are two years and begin on the 1st Tuesday of January of the odd-numbered year. Session ends on November 30 of the even-numbered year. Each calendar year receives its own legislative number. (ii) The regular session ends the first Thursday in June; it can be extended with a two-thirds majority vote. (jj) Legislators must address topic for which the special session was called. (kk) Each General Assembly convenes for a First and Second Regular Session over a two-year period. (ll) 90 legislative days over a two-year period. During special sessions members will be paid up to 30 legislative days; further days will be without pay or per diem. (mm) No limitation, but the convening of the new General Assembly following an election would by operation end the special session. (nn) The Legislature may call itself into Extraordinary Session on any subject by a majority vote of the organizing committees of each house, by joint resolution, or by a petition of a majority of each house. Only the governor may call a special session. (oo) Each Council period begins on January 2 of each odd-numbered year and ends on January 1 of the following odd-numbered year. (pp) Legislature meets on the first Monday of each month following its initial session in January. One legislative day or one special session day may become several calendar days. Special sessions may address only one subject. (qq) 60 L before April 1 and 30 L after July 31. (rr) Legislature meets twice a year. During general election years, the legislature only convenes on the January session.

(ss) The legislature convenes in January on the second Monday, March, June and September, the third Wednesday. (tt) The Constitution provides that the governor must call a special session upon “application” of 2/3 of the members of each house. (uu) Governor may call both houses of the legislature or the Senate alone into special session. Also, upon a 2/3 affirmative vote, the Senate may call itself into special session to consider judicial nominations. (vv) If the first Monday falls on New Years Day, the Legislature convenes on the first Wednesday. (ww) Majoirty of the total Legislature; i.e., 76 members of the combined 100-member House and 50-member Senate. (xx) Petition filed with Secretary o State signed by not less than 50 members of House (not more than 10 from the same county) and not less than eight members of the Senate. (yy) Wed. after 1st Monday for the biennial (odd numbered year) session. The adjourned session (even numbered year) is established legislatively in a resolution adopted at the conclusion of the biennial session. It is tradionally a date during the first two weeks of January. (zz) Session may be extented by 3/5 vote Per s. 11.011, Florida Statutes, if 20 percent of the members of the Legislature certify in writing that conditions warrant convening a special session, the Department of State shall, within seven days after receiving the required number of certificates, poll the members. Upon affirmative vote of 3/5 of the members of both houses, the Department of State shall fix the day and hour for convening the special session. (aaa) Twenty legislative days if Legislature calls themseleves. Unlimited if governor calls special session. (bbb) No formal limitation, but legislator per diems are limited by statute to 110 calander days during odd-year sessions and 100 calendar days during even-year sessions. (ccc) Legislative management may call special session as long as the length of the special session is within 80 day limit. If special session is called by the Legislative Management, the 80 legislative day limit applies. (ddd) Effective January 1, 2019, the Utah Constitution was amended to authorize the Legislature to convene into a limited session if twothirds of the Utah Senate and House members agree that convening is necessary because of a fiscal crisis, war, natural disaster, or emergency in the affairs of the state. A session called under this new constitutional provision is limited to 10 calendar days. This type of session is in addition to the regular annual general session and any special sessions called by the governor. This new type of session allows the Legislature to determine the subject, while a special session called by the governor does not. (eee) Governor may call. However, the General Assembly may adopt an adjournment resoultion that does not provide for a sine die adjournment and that grants the joint leadership the right to call back on an agreed upon or to be determined date.

(c) Bill returned to house of origin with governor’s objections. (d) Effective date may be established by the law itself or may be otherwise changed by vote of the legislature. Special or emergency acts are usually effective immediately. (e) The governor may line item distinct items or item veto amounts in appropriation bills, if returned prior to final adjournment. (f) Except bills presented within five days of final adjournment, Sundays are included. (g) Different number of votes required for revenue and appropriations bills. Alaska–3/4 elected. Illinois–Only the usual majority of members elected is required to restore a reduced item. (h) Several specific requirements of 3/4 majority. (i) Line item veto. (j) For a bill to become law during session, if 12th day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the period is extended to the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday. (k) For legislation enacted in regular sessions: January 1 of the following year. Urgency legislation: immediately upon chaptering by Secretary of State. Legislation enacted in special session: 91st day after adjournment of the special session at which the bill was passed. (l) The governor may not line-item veto any portion of any bill (including appropriation clauses in bills) other than line items in the Long Appropriations Bill. The governor may line-item veto individual lines in the Long Appropriations Bill. In those instances, the governor must line-item veto the entire amount of any item; an item is an indivisible sum of money dedicated to a single purpose. (m) Sundays included. (n) An act takes effect on the date stated in the act, or if no date is stated in the act, then upon signature of the governor. If no safety clause on a bill, the bill takes effect 90 days after sine die if no referendum petition has been filed. The state constitution allows for a 90 day period following adjournment when petitions may be filed for bills that do not contain a safety clause. (o) Bill enacted if not signed /vetoed within time frames. (p) The governor must notify the legislature 10 days before the 45th day of his intent to veto a measure on that day. The legislature may convene at or before noon on the 45th day after adjournment to consider the vetoed measures. If the legislature fails to reconvene, the bill does not become law. If the legislature reconvenes, it may pass the measure over the governor’s veto or it may amend the law to meet the governor’s objections. If the law is amended, the governor must sign the bill within 10 days after it is presented to him in order for it to become law. 7 0  The B ook of t h e St at e s 2 0 2 0

(q) Constitution withholds right to veto constitutional amendments proposed by the legislature. (r) Governor can also reduce amounts in appropriations bills. In Hawaii, governor can reduce items in executive appropriations measures, but cannot reduce or item veto amounts appropriated for the judicial or legislative branches. (s) Except Sundays and legal holidays. In Hawaii, except Saturdays, Sundays, holidays and any days in which the legislature is in recess prior to its adjournment. In Oregon, if the governor does not sign the bill within 30 days after adjournment, it becomes law without the governor’s signature, Saturdays and Sundays are excluded. (t) Effective date for bills which become law on or after July 1: A bill passed after May 31 cannot take effect before June 1 of the following year unless it states an earlier effective date and is approved by 3/5 of the members elected to each house. (u) Varies with date of the veto. (v) “If the bill or resolution shall not be returned by the governor within 10 days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to the Governor, it shall have the same force and effect as if the Governor had signed it unless the Legislature by their adjournment prevent its return, in which case it shall have such force and effect, unless returned within 3 days after the next meeting of the same Legislature which enacted the bill or resolution; if there is no such next meeting of the Legislature which enacted the bill or resolution, the bill or resolution shall not be a law.” (excerpted from Article IV, Part Third, Section 2 of the Constitution of Maine). (w) The Governor cannot veto the budget bill but may exercise a total veto or item veto on a supplementary appropriations bill. In practice, this means the Governor may strike items in the annual general capital budget bill. Occasionally, the Governor will also veto a bond bill or a portion of a bond bill. (x) If a bill is presented to the governor in the first 83 days of session, the governor has only six days (not including Sunday) to act before the bill automatically becomes law. (y) All bills passed at regular or special sessions must be presented to the governor no later than 20 days after adjournment. The governor has a limited time to sign or veto a bill after it is presented. If the governor does not act within that time, the bill becomes law automatically; there is no pocket veto. The time limit depends on when the presentment is made. Any bill presented in the last 7 days of the 90-day session or after adjournment must be acted on within 30 days after presentment. Bills vetoed after adjournment are returned to the legislature for reconsideration at the next meeting of the same General Assembly. (z) The governor has a limited time to sign or veto a bill after it is presented. If the governor does not act within that time, the bill becomes law automatically; there is no pocket veto. The time limit depends on when the presentment is made. (aa) Vetoed bills are returned to the house of origin immediately after that house has organized at the next regular or special session. When a new General Assembly is elected and sworn in, bills vetoed from the previous session are not returned. These vetoed bills are not subject to any further legislative action.”

TA BLE 3 .1 6 Enacting Legislation: Veto, Veto Override and Effective Date (continued) (bb) Unless otherwise provided, June 1 is the effective date for bond bills and July 1 is the effective date for budget, tax and revenue bills. By custom, October 1 is the usual effective date for other legislation. If the bill is an emergency measure, it may take effect immediately upon approval by the Governor or at a specified date prior to June 1. For vetoed legislation, 30 days after the veto is overridden or on the date specified in the bill, whichever is later. An emergency bill passed over the Governor’s veto takes effect immediately. (cc) Different date for fiscal legislation. Minnesota–July 1. Montana– Appropriations effective July 1 unless otherwise specified in bill; revenue bills effected July 1 unless otherwise specified in bill, often next Jan. 1. (dd) Bills vetoed after adjournment are returned to the legislature for reconsideration. Mississippi–returned within three days after the beginning of the next session. (ee) If bill has an emergency clause, it becomes effective upon governor’s signature. If a bill is neither signed nor vetoed by a governor, it becomes law. (ff) Nebraska allows a bill to become law without the signature of the governor. In addition, bills are carried over from the 90-day session beginning in the odd-numbered year to the 60-day session, which begins in even-numbered years. Bills that have not passed by the last day of the 60-day session are all indefinitely postponed by motion on the last day of the session. (gg) The day of delivery and Sundays are not counted for purposes of calculating these periods. (hh) For bills presented to governor before the last three days of session. If bills presented to the governor in the last three days of session, governor has 20 days from adjournment to sign; if not signed in this time period, bill is pocket vetoed. (ii) If the legislature adjourns during the governor’s consideration of a 10-day bill, the bill shall not become law without the governor’s approval. (jj) Postsession veto - 15 days, Saturdays and Sundays excluded. August 1 after filing with the secretary of state. Appropriations and tax bills July 1 after filing with secretary of state, or date set in legislation by Legislative Assembly, or by date established by emergency clause in a bill that passes each house by a vote of two-thirds of the members-elect of each house. (kk) The exception covers such matters as emergency measures and court bills that originally required a 2/3 majority for passage. In those cases, the same extraordinary majority vote is required to override a veto. (ll) Emergency, current appropriation, and tax legislation effective immediately. The General Assembly may also enact an uncodified section of law specifying a desired effective date that is after the constitutionally established effective date. (mm) During session the governor has 5 days (except Sunday) to sign or veto a bill or it becomes law automatically. After Session a bill becomes a pocket veto if not signed 15 days after sine die. (nn) Unless emergency declared or date specific in text of measure, which must be at least 90 days after adjournment sine die unless emergency is declared. Emergency cannot be declared in bills regulating taxation or exemption.

(oo) Bills become effective without signature if not signed or vetoed. (pp) Date signed, date received by Secretary of State if effective without signature, date that veto is overridden, or other specified date. (qq) Two days after the next meeting. (rr) During a session, a bill becomes law if a governor signs it or does not act on it within five days, not including Saturdays, Sundays or holidays. If the legislature has adjourned or recessed or is within five days of a recess or an adjournment, the governor has 15 days to act on the bill. If he does not act, the bill becomes law. (ss) Adjournment of the legislature is irrelevant; the governor has 10 days to act on a bill after it is presented to him or it becomes law without his signature. (tt) If part of the item. (uu) The governor has thirty days after adjournment of the legislature to act on any bills. The Constitution of Virginia provides that : “If the governor does not act on any bill, it shall become law without his signature.” (vv) Must include majority of elected members. (ww) Unless a different date is stated in the bill. Special sessions– first day of fourth month after adjournment. (xx) Five days for supplemental appropriation bills. (yy) Laws required to be approved only by the governor. An act required to be approved by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior only after it is vetoed by the governor and so approved takes effect 40 days after it is returned to the governor by the secretary. (zz) After Legislature adjourns sine die at end of two-year term. (aaa) Twenty days for appropriations bills. (bbb) U.S. Congress may annul. (ccc) May item veto language or amounts in a bill that contains two or more appropriations. (ddd) The governor has seven days, Sundays included, to act on presented bills while the Legislature is in session. If the Legislature adjourns sine die during the seven-day period or takes a recess of more than 30 days, the governor has 15 consecutive days from the date of presentation to act on the bill(s). (eee) Governor may partially veto words or numbers in the case of appropriation bills. (fff) In odd-numbered years 2 days prior to adjournment; in even numbered years 3 days subsequent to presentation following adjournment. However the actual practice is that bills are sent anytime prior the start of the next fiscal year (July 1). Governor has five business days (Sundays excepted) to sign. (ggg) Ten calendar days after receipt of bill. When the Governor receives bills within the last 10 days of session, the Governor has 30 days to act on the bills. (hhh) Per Joint Rule 58.5, the Legislature may consider a Governor’s veto for only 60 legislative days or until adjournment sine die of the session in which the bill subject to the veto was passed by the Legislature, whichever period is shorter. (iii) If a line item is vetoed, everything in the line item including all amounts and all language in that line item is vetoed.

(d) The Maine Governor held 40 bills since the end of the 129th First Regular Session. At the beginning of the 129th Second Regular Session, some of these became law, some were vetoed, and some were recalled from the Governor’s desk by the Legislature. Since these bills were enacted during the 1st Regular Session of the 129th Legislature, they are counted as enactments here. Vetoes of some of these bills, which occured during the 2nd Regular Session of the 129th are not counted here. The Resolutions

statistics do not include Constitutional Resolutions. Other than Constitutional Resolutions, there are two other types of Resolutions in Maine: ones that memorialize Congress and ones that recognize a person, day, week, or month such as Autism Awareness Month. These two types of Resolutions have different introduction and enactment procedures but are lumped together here. (e) This number reflects the resolution proposing an amendment to the state constitution that passed both Senate and House, but does not reflect any executive or judicial nomination resolutions that passed both Senate and House. (f) House held 115 session days, Senate 116 session days. There were 345 calendar days from convening to adjournment. (g) Resolutions are included in bill numbers. (h) Information as of 11/20/2019, for the 2019 session, which was set to continue on 1/14/20. (i) Of the 92 measures vetoed by the governor, 13 were “policy vetoes” (governor had objections to the bills due to policy concerns), while the others were duplicative (the bill in the opposite chamber, which also passed, accomplished the same purpose, so the governor signed only one of the measures and vetoed the other). (j) The House adjounred on Dec. 27, 2019 and the Senate on Dec. 30, 2019. The House of was in session for 140 calendar days and the Senate for 139 calendar days. (k) Figures reflect the number of bills and resolutions introduced and enacted for the 2019-2020 two-year session as of March 3, 2020.

STATE LE GIS LATU R E S

TA BLE 3 .2 1 Staff for Individual Legislators (continued) Source: The Council of State Governments’ survey, December 2019. *Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands Note: For entries under column heading “Shared,” figures after slash indicate approximate number of legislators per staff person, where available. Key: …—Staff not provided for individual legislators. YR—Year-round. SO—Session only. IO—Interim only. (a) Six counties have local delegation offices with shared staff. (b) The number of staff per legislator varies depending on their position. (c) Representatives share a secretary with another legislator; however, House leadership and committee chairs usually have their own secretarial staff. All legislators share professional research staff. (d) The legislators share eight member-services staff members; two staff members per 25 legislators. (e) Senate: Personal—Each Senator is granted 1,300 aide hours and may employ up to two aides each fiscal year, with each aide working a maximum of 40 hours each week. Shared—The majority have ten full time year round employees and two session-only positions. The minority have six full time year round employees and two session-only positions. The Senate also employs nonpartisan staff, including four full time year round employees and 13 session-only positions. There are also three session-only employees in the bill room who are jointly managed by the Colorado Senate and House. House: Personal—Each Representative is allowed to hire up to 2 paid Legislative Aides who share a limit of 1,300 hours per fiscal year. Representatives may have an unlimited number of unpaid interns and volunteers. Shared—The majority have 10 full time year round employees and two session-only positions. The minority employs 4 full time year round employees and three session-only positions. The House also employs nonpartisan staff, including four full time year round employees and 20 session-only positions. (f) The numbers are for staff assigned to specific legislators. There is additional staff working in the leadership offices that also support the rank and file members. (g) Staffers are a combination of full time, part time, shared, personal, etc. and their assignments change throughout the year. (h) Personal and district staff are the same. In Florida, district employees may travel to the capitol for sessions (two district employees in the Senate and one district employee in the House). (i) The Senate has two full-time, year-round employees (chief of staff to president pro tempore and secretary of the senate) and one part-time, year-round employee (minority chief of staff). The Senate had 50 full-time employees during the 2019 legislative session (January-April). The House has two full-time, year round employees (chief of staff to the speaker and chief fiscal officer) and one part-time, year-round employee (chief clerk of the hosue). The House had 36 full-time employees during the 2019 legislative sesson (January-April).

8 2  The B ook of t h e St at e s 2 0 2 0

(j) Each senator has one secretary and two House members share a secretary. Partisan staffers also help legislators with many issues as well as staffing committees. Most senators and representatives have one or two district office employees, paid from a separate allowance for that purpose. (k) Leadership has one legislative assistant. During session, college interns are hired to provide additional staff—one for every two members. Leadership has one intern. (l) One clerical staff person for three individual House members is the norm. Chairpersons are provided their own individual clerical staff person. (m) The General Assembly is provided professional and clerical staff services by a centralized, non-partisan staff, with the exception of House and Senate leadership which employs partisan staff. No district staff provided. (n) Each legislator may hire as many assistants as desired, but pay from public funds ranges from $2,000 to $3,000 per month per legislator. Assistant(s) generally work in the district office but may also work at the capitol during the session. (o) The six caucuses are assigned one full-time position each (potentially 24 legislators per one staff person). (p) Presonal: No Senate positions are exclusive to any one member. The President’s Office does work for the Senate President, however they also work in conjunction with the Majority Office caucus. Shared: Year Round and Session Only. Secretary’s Office: 10 YR, 5 SO; President’s Office: 8 YR; Majority office: 8 YR; Minority office: 6 YR. This is difficult to quantify. It can fluctuate depending on the office structure and total number of members for each caucus. Currently, the Senate Democrats have 21 members and the Senate Republicans have 14. Number of legislators per staff person: again, this is difficult to quantify. Legislative Aides are assigned to multiple members, yet the Communications Director works for all members of the caucus. (q) This is an average as some have 12, 14 and one legislator has seven. The 151 House members do not have individual staff. Speaker’s office: 8 year round. Clerk’s office: 12 year round, 1 parttime, 10 session-only. (r) Senate: Funds are included to permit each senator to hire an administrative aide that is a regular full-time, benefited employee.

Agencies must give 60-day notice to the public and the Joint Committee of their intent to adopt or amend specific rules and regulations, a copy of which must be provided to the committee. Within the 60-day comment period, the Joint Committee must review and comment, if it feels necessary, on the proposals. Final rules and regulations which differ in subject matter or in any material respect from the rules and regulations originally proposed or which are not a logical outgrowth of the rules and regulations originally proposed must be resubmitted to the Joint Committee as part of new rulemaking.

P, E

The deadline for filing proposed regulations is the 15th of the month. Properly filed regulations are published in the Administrative Register on the first of the month following the deadline. Filing the regulation triggers a public comment period and a review by the Administrative Regulation Review Subcommittee (ARRS). The committee meets within 75 days of publication, unless the regulation receives comments, is deferred, or is withdrawn. The subject-matter committee, which has the option to review regulations after ARRS, may meet on a regulation within 90 days of referral of the regulation to the subject-matter committee.

P

All proposed rules and fees are submitted to designated standing committees of the legislature. If a rule or fee is unacceptable, the committee sends a written report to the governor. The governor has 10 days to disapprove the committee report. If both Senate and House committees fail to find the rule unacceptable, or if the governor disapproves the action of a committee within 10 days, the agency may adopt the rule change. If the committees of both houses fail to find a fee unacceptable, it can be adopted. Committee action on proposed rules must be taken within 5 to 30 days after the agency reports to the committee on its public hearing (if any) and whether it is making changes on proposed rules.

All proposed regulations are submitted to the AELR Committee for review at least 15 days before they are submitted to the Maryland Register for publication. Often changes are negotiated between the committee and the unit before publication. The committee is not required to give its explicit approval in order for a proposed regulation to become effective. In the usual course, the unit may adopt a proposed regulation 45 days after the regulation was published in the Maryland Register. Thirty of the 45 days must be reserved as a public comment period. If the committee cannot complete its review of the proposed regulation within the 45-day period, it may delay, or “hold,” the adoption of the regulation. During this time, the committee may suggest to the unit that certain changes be made. If no agreement is reached, the unit may subsequently notify the committee of its intent to adopt the regulation despite the committee's hold. The hold period ends on the later of the 30th day after the unit's notice to the committee or the 105th day after the initial publication of the regulation in the Maryland Register. At any time, the committee may formally vote to oppose the adoption of the regulation. In this case, notice of the opposition is sent to the governor and the unit, and further negotiations ensue.

The governor may instruct the unit to withdraw or modify the regulation. However, once the committee has opposed the adoption of the regulation, it may not be adopted unless approved by the governor. Emergency regulations, which bypass the normal public notice and comment period, remain in effect for a limited period of time -not to exceed 180 days -to meet exigent circumstances. Although emergency regulations are not published in the Maryland Register before adoption, notice of the committee’s receipt of the regulation is posted on the MGA website. In addition, the agency submitting the request for adoption of emergency status must post the text of the regulations on the agency website within three business days of submission to the AELR committee.If a member of the committee requests a public hearing on the emergency adoption of a regulation, the committee must hold the hearing. If no public hearing is requested, staff to the committee may poll on the emergency regulation as soon as 10 business days after receipt of the regulation. Approval by the committee is required for an emergency regulation to take effect.

P

In Massachusetts, the General Court (Legislature) may by statute authorize an administrative agency to promulgate regulations. The promulgation of such regulations are then governed by Chapter 30A of the Massachusetts General Laws. Chapter 30A requires 21 day notice to the public of a public hearing on a proposed regulation. After public hearing the proposed regulation is filed with the state secretary who approves it if it is in conformity with Chapter 30A. The state secretary maintains a register entitled “Massachusetts Register” and the regulation does not become effective until published in the register. The agency may promulgate amendments to the regulations following the same process.

If the legislation does not pass within 15 session days, the agency may file the rule. (3) If the JCAR proposes the rule be changed, the agency has 30 days to change the rule and resubmit or decide to not change the rule. If the agency agrees to change the proposed rule, it withdraws the rule and resubmits it. If the agency does not agree to change the proposed rule, it notifies the JCAR which again has 15 session days to consider the rule. (4) If the JCAR decides to enact the subject of the rule into law, the JCAR chair or alternate chair shall introduce legislation in both houses to do so and the agency may not file the rule for 270 days after the introduction of the legislation.

Proposed regulations are either reviewed at the Legislative Commission's next regularly scheduled meeting (if the regulation is received more than 10 working days before the meeting), or they are referred to the Commission's Subcommittee to Review Regulations. If there is no objection to the regulation, then the Commission will "promptly" file the approved regulation with the Secretary of State. If the Commission or its subcommittee objects to a regulation, then the Commission will "promptly" return the regulation to the agency for revision. Within 60 days of receiving the written notice of objection to the regulation, the agency must revise the regulation and return it to the Legislative Counsel. If the Commission or its subcommittee objects to the revised regulation, the agency shall continue to revise and resubmit it to the Commission or subcommittee within 30 days after receiving the written notice of objection to the revised regulation.

Under APA, for regular rulemaking, the joint committee of administrative rules has 45 days to review a final proposed rule from an agency. Otherwise the rule is automatically approved. If JLCAR makes a preliminary or revised objection, the agency has 45 days to respond, and JLCAR has another 50 days to decide to vote to sponsor a joint resolution, which suspends the adoption process. JLCAR may also, or instead, make a final objection, which shifts the burden of proof in court to the agency. There is no time limit on making a final objection.

Legislation to disapprove rules and regulations. (n)


STATE LE G I S LATU R E S

TABLE 3 .2 6 Legislative Review of Administrative Rules/Regulations: Powers (continued) Source: The Council of State Governments’ survey, December 2019. *Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands Key: «—Yes …—No N.A.—Not applicable (a) This column is defined by those legislatures or legislative committees that can only recommend changes to rules but have no power to enforce a change. (b) Authorized, although constitutionally questionable. (c) Disapproval of proposed regulations may be sustained, or reversed by action of the General Assembly in the ensuing session. The General Assembly may by resolution sustain or reverse a vote of disapproval. (d) The reviewing committee must introduce a resolution to override a rule within the first 30 days of the next regular session of the General Assembly. If the resolution passes by less than a twothirds majority of either house, the governor has final authority to affirm or veto the resolution. (e) The Administrative Procedure Act is not clear on this point, but implies that the Joint Committee should either object or issue a statement of no objections. (f) Joint Committee on Administrative Rules can send objections to issuing agency. If it does, the agency has 90 days from then to withdraw, change, or refuse to change the proposed regulations. If the Joint Committee determines that proposed regulations would seriously threaten the public good, it can block their adoption. Within 180 days the Joint Cmte., or both houses of the General Assembly, can “unblock” those regulations; if that does not happen, the regulations are dead. (g) None—except by passing statute. (h) Committee may delay or suspend object to rules, and has authority to approve emergency filed rules. (i) If the committee determines that a proposed rule is unacceptable, it submits a report to the governor who then has 10 days to accept or reject the report. If the governor rejects the report, the rule change may be adopted by the agency. If the governor accepts the report, the agency may not adopt the rule. Emergency rules become effective upon adoption or up to 60 days after adoption as provided in the rule, but a standing committee or governor may void the rule by finding it unacceptable within 2 to 61 days after adoption and reporting such finding to agency within four days. (j) No veto allowed. If Legislature wishes to stop a rule from being adopted, it must enact appropriate legislation prohibiting the agency from adopting the rule. (k) Except for emergency regulations which require committee approval for adoption. (l) Committee can suspend rules during interim. (m) The Legislative Commission to Review Administrative Rules (LCRAR) ceased operating, effective July 1, 1996. The Legislative Coordinating Commission (LCC) may review a proposed or adopted rule. Contact the LCC for more information. See Minn. Stat. 3.842, subd. 4a.

(n) No formal mechanism for legislative review of administrative rules. In Virginia, legislative review is optional. (o) A rule disapproved by the reviewing committee is reinstated at the end of the next session if a joint resolution in the legislature fails to sustain committee action. (p) Pursuant to HB 2055 enacted in 2013, the legislature shall adopt omnibus resolution approving all proposed permanent rules except those listed in resolution which are to be disapproved. Full legislature may suspend rules. (q) Failure to object or approve within 45 days of agency filing of final proposal constitutes approval. (r) The legislature may permanently block rules through legislation. The vote to sponsor a joint resolution suspends the adoption of a proposed rule for a limited time so that the full legislature may act on the resolution, which would then be subject to governor’s veto and override. (s) Article V, Section IV, par. 6 of the NJ Constitution, as amended in 1992, says the legislature may review any rule or regulation to determine whether the rule or regulation is (s) Article V, Section IV, par. 6 of the NJ Constitution, as amended in 1992, says the legislature may review any rule or regulation to determine whether the rule or regulation is consistent with legislative intent. The legislature transmits its objections to existing or proposed rules or regulations to the governor and relevant agency via concurrent resolutions. The legislature may invalidate or prohibit an existing or proposed rule from taking effect by a majority vote of the authorized membership of each house, in compliance with constitutional provisions. (t) Unless formal objections are made or the rule is declared void, rules are considered approved. (u) JLCAR may recommend that an agency amend or withdraw a proposal. A vote opposing rule does not prohibit its adoption but assigns the burden of proof in any legal challenge to the agency. (v) Standing committees and The Joint Commission on Administrative Rules may suspend the effective date of all or a part of a final regulation until the end of the next regular legislative session with the concurrence of the governor. (w) State agencies have no power to promulgate rules without first submitting proposed rules to the legislature which must enact a statute authorizing the agency to promulgate the rule. If the legislature during a regular session disapproves all or part of any legislative rule, the agency may not issue the rule nor take action to implement all or part of the rule unless authorized to do so. However, the agency may resubmit the same or a similar proposed rule to the committee. (x) The promulgating agency’s proposed language may be amended upon agreement of the committee and the promulgating agency. (y) The committee does not approve or disapprove regulations. The committee is charged with reviewing and commenting upon the regulations, may propose amendments for the agency to consider, make recommendations, request that the agency defer the regulation, or determine that a regulation should be found deficient. A finding of deficiency is nonbinding. (z) The rule could still be objected to in future legislative sessions. Th e Co unc i l o f St at e Go v er nment s  9 7

TA BLE 3 .2 6 Legislative Review of Administrative Rules/Regulations: Powers (continued) (aa) Committee makes recommendations on Major Substantive Rules, but approval or disapproval is by the full Legislature (the instrument used is a resolve). (bb) Under very specific circumstances the answer is yes with respect to Major Substantive Rules: if the rules are submitted in accordance with the timelines established by law, and the Legislature fails to act on them, the rules may be adopted as if the Legislature approved them. (cc) Executive branch agency has more than advisory power. (dd) Negative rule determinations are made public and remain on website until rule is modified to cmply with statutory authority, statute is modified to establish validity of rule or court case upholds validity of rule. (ee) Joint Administrative Procedures Committee, with approval of the president and speaker, may seek judicial review of validity or invalidity of rules.

(ff) A standing committee can recommend a special session to consider committee’s recommendations (gg) Amendment 92 to the Arkansas Constitution, which passed in 2014, and laws enacted by Act 1258 of 2015 provided the General Assembly with the power of review and approval of all administrative rules and regulations. (hh) Commission may hold hearings, subpoena witnesses, administer oaths, take testimony, and compel the production of books, papers, documents and other evidence. (ii) Germane joint subcommittees can submit a report of objection to a rule to the germane standing committee and the Legislature. The Legislature as a whole has the final say in the rejection of rules when voting on the concurrent resolution of the rejection. (jj) Final rules previously approved by the Legislature, can still be rejected in a subsequent session.

TA BLE 3 .2 7 Summary of Sunset Legislation (continued) Source: The Council of State Governments’ survey, December 2019. *Commonwealth of Mariana Islands Key: C—Comprehensive—requires all statutory agencies to be subject to a sunset review once per review cycle. R — Regulatory—review focus is on regulatory and licensing agencies and bureaus. S—Selective—selective implementation and reviews are concentrated on entities such as occupational licensing and administrative agencies such as highway, health and education departments. D—Discretionary—sunset review board has the ability to select which entities will face review. d—day m—month y—year …—No provision (a) Jt. Legis. Sunset Review Cmte.—Review by the Jt. Legislative Sunset Review Cmte. of professional and vocational licensing boards, pursuant to Government Code 9147.7. Sunset clauses are included in other selected programs and legislation. (b) No longer comprehensive—in 2016, funding for Legislative Program Review and Investigations Committee and staff eliminated; in 2017, provisions of law requiring decennial review of certain programs/entities repealed. (c) The 2011 Nevada Legislature created the Sunset Subcommittee of the Legislative Commission with the enactment of Senate Bill 251 (Chapter 480, Statutes of Nevada). The Subcommittee is to conduct reviews of all boards and commissions not provided for in the Nevada Constitution or created by Executive Order of the Governor, and is charged with determining whether those entities should be terminated, modified, consolidated, or continued. The Subcommittee must review each entity no less often than once every ten years. After making it’s initial recommendations no later than June 30, 2012, the Subcommittee must submit all subsequent recommendations to the Legislative Commission on or before June 30 of each even numbered year. The Legislative Commission may accept or reject the recommendations in whole or part and may then request that legislation be drafted for consideration by the full Legislature. (d) The automatic sunsetting of an agency every six years was eliminated in 1992. The legislature must pass a bill in order to sunset a specific agency. (e) While they have not enacted sunset legislation in the same sense as the other states with detailed information in this table, the legislatures in Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Virginia and Wisconsin have included sunset clauses in selected programs or legislation. (f) Comprehensive agency sunset review and repeal was repealed in 2011. Florida does have Open Government Sunset Review of public records and meetings exemptions with a 5-year review period (g) Governor is to read GOMB report and make recommendations to the General Assembly every even-numbered year. (h) Sunset legislation terminated July 1992. Legislative oversight of designated state agencies, consisting of audit, review and evaluation, continues. (i) Sunset Act terminated December 31, 1984. House and Senate 1 02  The B ook of t h e St at e s 2 0 2 0

Rules are available at billstatus.ls.state.ms.us. New Rules were adopted in January 2012. (j) Sunset legislation is discretionary, meaning that senators are free to offer sunset legislation or attach termination dates to legislative proposals. There is no formal sunset commission. Nebraska. Revised Statutes section 50-1303 directs the Legislature’s Government, Military and Veteran’s Committee to conduct an evaluation of any board, commission, or similar state entity. The review must include, among other things, a recommendation as to whether the board, commission, or entity should be terminated, continued or modified. (k) New Hampshire’s Sunset Committee was repealed July 1, 1986. (l) North Carolina’s sunset law terminated on July 30, 1981. Successor vehicle, the Legislative Committee on Agency Review, operated until June 30, 1983. (m) There are statutory exceptions. (n) HB 471 of the 131st General Assembly revised and renewed the Sunset Review Committee to be convened each odd-numbered general assembly. Therefore, Sunset Review will operate on a recurring four-year cycle. (o) Sunset legislation was repealed in 1993.No general law sunsetting rules or agencies. Oversight mechanisms, including auditing, reporting or performance measures, are discretionary but may be included in specific bills as determined by legislature. (p) No standing sunset statutes or procedures at this time. (q) Law repealed by 1998 Act 419, Part II, Sect. 35E. (r) South Dakota suspended sunset legislation in 1979. A later law directing the Executive Board of the Legislative Research Council to establish one or more interim committees each year to review state agencies was repealed in 2012. (s) Sunsets are at the legislature’s discretion. Their structure will vary on an individual basis. (t) Wyoming repealed sunset legislation in 1988. (u) The program evaluation process evolved out of the sunset process, but Wyoming currently does not have a scheduled sunset of programs. (v) Default is ten years, although years may be decreased by legislative decisions. (w) Sometimes programs or agencies are subject to sunset provisions; this is entirely ad hoc as the Legislature determines appropriate. There is a general law, however, called State Government Evaluation Law that provides for regular reviews of agencies and boards by committee of jurisdiction; the committees can recommend termination (sunset) but, again, this is ad hoc. (x) A regulation expires seven years after its last substantive review unless appropriate action is taken by agency. (y) The certification process does not involve a specific review unless requested by a committee member. (z) The agency is required to review its regulations for compliance with current law at least once every 7 years and file a certification letter stating whether the regulation will be amended or remain in effect without amendment. If the certification letter is not filed or the regulation is not repromulgated, the regulation will expire 7 years after the last substantive committee review. (aa) Act 600 of 2019 creates cyclical process for reviewing licensing entities.

TA BLE 6 .4 Election Dates for National and State Elections (Formulas and Dates of State Elections) (continued) Sources: The Council of State Governments, May 2020. * Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands Notes: 1. This table describes the basic formulas for determining when national and state elections will be held. For specific information on a particular state, the reader is advised to contact the state election administration office. All dates provided are based on the state election formula and dates are subject to change. 2. Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, many states pushed back their primary and runoff election dates in the 2020 cycle. Key: ★ — First Tuesday after first Monday. . . . — No provision. M —Monday. T — Tuesday. TH — Thursday. S — Saturday. SN — Sunday. Prior — Prior to general election. AP — After primary. (a) National refers to presidential elections. (b) State refers to election in which a state executive official or legislator is to be elected. See Table 6.1, State Executive Branch Officials to be Elected, and Table 6.2, State Legislature Members to be Elected. (c) Open: Voters can privately select which party’s ballot to vote, regardless of party affiliation. Closed: Voters must be a registered member of the party to vote its primary ballot. Partially Open: Voters can choose in which primary to vote but that choice is not private. In certain states, a voter’s primary ballot selection may be regarded as a form of registration with the corresponding party. Partially Closed: Unaffiliated voters may participate in any party’s primary. Members of a political party are not allowed to cross over and vote in a different political party’s primary. Top Two primaries: All voters in California and Washington receive one ballot with candidates from all parties listed together. The top two finishers face each other at the general election. Louisiana has a similar election type but its primary is held in October with a runoff election in November if no candidate garners 50 percent or more of the vote. Nebraska uses a single primary ballot to elect lawmakers to its nonpartisan legislature. (d) The dates for presidential caucuses are set by the political parties. (e) Alaska law allows a political party to select who may participate in their party’s primary. Parties may expand or limit who may participate in their Primary Election by submitting a written notice with a copy of their pre cleared by-laws to the Director of Elections no later than September 1st of the year prior to the year in which a Primary Election is to be held. (f) The primary law allows Puerto Rico parties affiliated with U.S. national parties to select a primary date any time between the first

Tuesday in March and June 15. (g) The state parties have the option of choosing either the first Tuesday in March (March 3, 2020) date called for in the statute or moving up to the first Tuesday in February (Feb. 4, 2020). (h) The Secretary of State has the authority to set the date of the presidential primary election. Scheduled for March, the presidential primary was held on June 9, 2020. (i) In 2011, the Idaho Legislature passed HB 351, implementing a closed primary system. However, the law gives political parties the option of opening their primary elections to unaffiliated voters and members of other political parties. The party chairman must notify the Secretary of State 6 months prior to the primary if the party intends to open its primary election to those outside of the party. The Republican party currently allows only voters registered with its party to vote (closed), while the Democratic Party allows unaffiliated voters to vote in its primary (partially closed). (j) In 2015, the Kansas legislature passed a bill (HB 2104) that repealed the statute calling for a presidential preference primary election. It replaces it with a requirement that each recognized political party select a presidential nominee in accordance with party procedures, for every presidential election beginning with the 2016 election. (k) Unaffiliated voters may register with a party on primary day to vote in that party’s primary. (l) Louisiana has an open primary which requires all candidates, regardless of party affiliation, to appear on a single ballot. If a candidate receives over 50 percent of the vote in the primary, that candidate is elected to the office. If no candidate receives a majority vote, then a single election is held between the two candidates receiving the most votes. For national elections, the first vote is held on the first Saturday in October of even-numbered years with the general election held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. For state elections, the election is held on the second to last Saturday in October with the runoff being held on the fourth Saturday after first election. (m) Residents of U.S. territories may vote in presidential primaries, but the Electoral College system does not permit them to vote in presidential elections. (n) Voters who have already registered but have not enrolled in a party may enroll in a party at the polls on Election Day. Any voter who wishes to change party enrollment must do so at least 15 days before the vote. (o) American Samoa and the Northern Marianas Islands do not conduct primary elections. Instead, the law provides for a run off when none of the candidates receives more than 50% of the vote. (p) Under Maryland law, parties may allow unaffiliated voters to cast ballots in their primaries by notifying the election board six months in advance. However, both major parties currently hold closed primaries. (q) In 2014, the Council of the District of Columbia passed a bill (B20-0265) to move the presidential primary from the 1st Tuesday in April to the 2nd Tuesday in June. (r) Parties must notify the Secretary of State’s Office in writing prior to Dec. 1st the year preceding the date of the election of their

TA BLE 6 .4 Election Dates for National and State Elections (Formulas and Dates of State Elections) (continued) intentions to hold a preference primary election. Unless the chairs of the two major political parties jointly propose a different date, the caucuses are held on the first Tuesday in February. (s) Mississippi voters do not have to register with a party, but state law requires they must intend to support the party nominee if they vote in that party’s primary election. Since voter intent is difficult to dispute in court, some characterize Mississippi’s system an open partisan primary. (t) The Secretary of State selects a date for the primary, which must be 7 days or more immediately preceding the date on which any other state holds a similar election. (u) An unaffiliated voter may choose one party’s ballot, which makes them a registered member of that party. However, temporary affiliation is possible, as voters can fill out a card at the polling place to return to undeclared status after the vote is cast. (v) In 2015, Ohio lawmakers passed a bill (HB 153) that moves the date of the primary back one week to the second Tuesday after the first Monday in March. In non-presidential election years, the primary is held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in May. The move to a later week allows Republicans to allocate delegates in a winner-take-all fashion.

(w) In November of each odd-numbered year, recognized political parties declare whether or not they will permit Independents to vote in their primary elections during the following two calendar years. For 2016 and 2017, the Democratic Party granted permission for Independents to vote in its primaries and runoff primaries. Independents cannot vote in Republican primaries. (x) South Dakota only holds runoffs for the offices of U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative and governor. (y) If funded, Utah can hold a primary on either the first Tuesday of February or in conjunction with the regular primary on the fourth Tuesday in June. (z) In November, 2015, a federal judge ruled that the state cannot force political parties to open their primaries to unaffiliated voters, invalidating a provision in a 2014 law (SB 54). This decision allows the Utah Republican Party to continue to hold closed primaries. (aa) In the past two election presidential primary cycles, New York has chosen to move their primary to April. The 2020 presidential primary was canceled due to the Coronavirus global pandemic. (bb) In presidential election years, the primary is held on the first Tuesday in March.

TABLE 6 .6 Voter Registration Information (continued) Source: The Council of State Governments survey of state election web sites, May 2020. Note: Many of these practices were amended/altered for the 2020 election cycle due to COVID-19. Most states allowed extended deadlines for registration and relaxed rules on absentee or voteby-mail options. *Commonwealth of Mariana Islands Key: —Provision exists …—No state provision. (a) Eligible citizens who interact with government agencies are automatically registered to vote unless they decline. (b) Key for residency requirements: S – State, C – County, D – District, M – Municipality, P – Precinct, T – Town. Numbers represent the number of days before an election for which one must be a resident. (c) State provision prohibiting registration or claiming the right to vote in another state or jurisdiction. (d) Election-day registration is available in presidential election years, but voters who do so can vote only for the offices of President and Vice President, not in state or local races. (e) California’s same-day registration will take effect on January 1 of the year following the year in which the Secretary of State certifies that the state has a statewide voter registration database that complies with the requirements of the federal Help America Vote Act of 2002. (f) Not yet implemented: Oklahoma, passed in 2015. (g) In 2014 Hawaii lawmakers passed legislation (HB 2590) to allow voters to register at early voting sites beginning in 2016 or at their assigned polling places on Election Day starting in 2018. (h) Registration closes 27 days before a general election. Illinois also has a “grace period” registration that extends registration from the normal close of registration up through the 3rd day before the election. Once registered, this voter may cast a ballot during this “Grace Period” at the election authority’s office or at a location specifically designated for this purpose by the election

authority, or by mail, at the discretion of the election authority. (i) A legislatively referred constitutional amendment to authorize the legislature to enact election day registration was approved by voters in November 2018. (j) An online system allows voters to change their address for both their drivers license and voter registration at the same time. Michigan law requires that the same address be on record for both. (k) In Mississippi, a registered voter can update an existing registration record online, but new applications must still be made on paper. (l) In 2014, the North Carolina legislature eliminated voters’ ability to register and vote on the same day at early voting locations. Registered voters may still update their name and address on their voter registration at an Early Voting site. (m) No voter registration. (n) In 2014, the Ohio Legislature passed a bill that eliminated the ability of voters to register during the six early voting days referred to as “Golden Week,” when people could both register to vote and cast an in-person absentee ballot. (o) Must be postmarked 30 days before an election. Voters can register in-person or online up to 7 days before the election. However, these voters will not be eligible to participate in early voting, and must vote on election day. (p) The Vermont Legislature passed a bill (SB 29) in 2015 to allow for same-day voter registration, effective January 1, 2017. (q) Voters must have a permanent residence in Puerto Rico to be a qualified elector.

TABLE 6 .6 A Voting Information (continued) Sources: The Council of State Governments survey of state web sites, May 2020. Note: Many of these practices were amended/altered for the 2020 election cycle due to COVID-19. Most states allowed extended deadlines for registration and relaxed rules on absentee or voteby-mail options. *Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands Key: —Provision exists …—No state provision. N.A.—Not applicable (a) Three states—Colorado, Oregon, and Washington—conduct elections by mail. All registered voters are automatically mailed a ballot in advance of Election Day. Alaska is the first state to allow all voters—not just those covered by the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA)—to submit an absentee ballot electronically. Civilian voters must apply for an electronic ballot beginning 15 days before the election. (b) Early voting is usually done in person on the same equipment as that used on Election Day. An excuse is not required. (c) Voter identification laws include both photo or non-photo identification requirements. (d) Typical excuses include some or all of the following: absent on business; senior citizen; disabled persons; not absent, but prevented by employment from voting; out of state on Election Day; out of precinct on Election Day; absent for religious reasons; students; temporarily out of jurisdiction. (e) State allows voters to be added to the permanent absentee voter list, in which an absentee ballot will be automatically sent for each election. No excuse is required. This does not include states that allow certain voters to be added to the list, including permanently disabled or ill voters, the elderly, uniformed service members and their families, or people who live outside the United States. (f) Absentee votes must be signed by, N—Notary or W—Witness. Numbers indicated the number of signatures required. (g) A—permanent disenfranchisement for all offenders; states that permanently disenfranchise all or some felons may allow felons to apply, on an individual basis, to the state for an exemption that will restore their voting rights. B—restoration is dependent upon the type of conviction and/or the results of an individual petition to the state government. C—voting rights restored after completion of sentence including prison, parole and probation. D—voting rights restored after release from prison. E—voting rights restored once released from prison and parole, probationers can vote. (h) Photo identification is not required if two election officials can sign sworn statements saying they know the voter. (i) Alaska is the first state to allow all voters—not just those covered by the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA)—to submit an absentee ballot electronically. Civilian voters must apply for an electronic ballot beginning 15 days before the election. (j) An election officer may waive the identification requirement if

the election officials knows the identity of the voter. (k) The Kentucky General Assembly passed a voter ID law in 2020 that will go into effect with the November 2020 general election. (l) While all registered voters are automatically mailed a ballot prior to the election, the state also operates in-person voting sites. (m) Functional early voting, as the state permits in-person absentee voting, in which voters, within a certain period of time before the election, can apply in person for an absentee ballot (no excuse required) and cast a ballot in the election office. (n) A registered voter must either present a photo ID or sign a Personal Identification Affidavit. After signing the Affidavit, the voter will be issued a ballot to be tabulated with all other ballots. (o) Beginning in 2016, Massachusetts will have early voting only during even-year November elections. There are no early voting periods for primaries or municipal elections. (p) Unless the witness is a notary, the witness must also be a registered Minnesota voter. (q) Disabled voters do not need to have an absentee ballot notarized, but it must be witnessed. (r) All absentee ballots must be notarized with the exception of the following: Missouri residents outside the U.S., including military on active duty and their immediate family members; permanently disabled voters and those voting absentee due to illness or physical disability; and caregivers. (s) Photo identification will be required starting in 2016. However, voters who are unable to obtain an acceptable photo ID due to a reasonable impediment may still vote a provisional ballot at the polls . Examples of a reasonable impediment include but are not limited to the lack of proper documents, family obligations, transportation problems, work schedule, illness or disability, among other reasonable impediments faced by the voter. Voters must also sign a declaration describing their impediment; and provide their date of birth and last four digits of their Social Security number, or present their current voter registration card or a copy of an acceptable document bearing their name and address. (Acceptable documents include a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other governmentissued document.) The provisional ballot will be counted when the information on the declaration is verified and all other eligibility requirements are met. On Dec. 31, 2019 a federal judge blocked the state from enforcing the voter ID law while a case challenging the law was being argued. (t) A Voter Identification Card issued by the County Election Board is the only valid proof of identity that does not include a photograph. (u) All absentee ballots must notarized with the following exceptions: Physically incapacitated voters and voters who care for physically incapacitated persons (ballot affidavit must be witnessed by two people); voters in a nursing home; overseas voters. (v) State conducts election by mail. All registered voters are automatically mailed a ballot in advance of Election Day. (w) In 2012, the legislature enacted a law requiring voters to show photo identification. However, in 2014 a state judge struck down

TABLE 6 .6 A Voting Information (continued) the law. (x) All absentee ballots must be notarized or signed by two witnesses with the following exceptions: military and overseas voters. (y) If a voter has a reasonable impediment to obtaining photo identification, he or she may vote a provisional ballot after showing a non-photo voter registration card. State law defines a reasonable impediment as any valid reason, beyond a person’s control, that creates an obstacle to obtaining Photo ID. Some examples include: religious objection to being photographed; disability or illness; work schedule; lack of transportation; lack of birth certificate; family responsibilities; election within short time frame of implementation of photo ID law (January 1, 2013); and any other obstacle a person finds reasonable. (z) All absentee ballots must be notarized or signed by one witness, with the exception of qualified voters under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voters Act. (aa) Absentee ballot applications (not absentee ballots) are required to be notarized unless a copy of the voter’s photo identification is also submitted. (bb) On Apr. 22, 2016, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe signed an order restoring the vote to all felons in Virginia, regardless of their charge, who had completed their term of incarceration and their

2 34  The B ook of t h e St at e s 2 0 2 0

term of probation or parole. The governor’s action will not apply to felons released in the future, but aides say the governor plans to issue similar orders on a monthly basis to cover people as they are released. The Virginia Supreme Court ruled that rights restoration must take place on an individual basis. (cc) State conducts election by mail. All registered voters are automatically mailed a ballot in advance of Election Day. Only Pierce County offers in-person voting. (dd) In 2016, the West Virginia Legislature approved a bill that will require voters to show some form of identification before casting a ballot. Approved forms of identification include any governmentissued ID or permit, with or without a photo, including a voter registration card; any college or high school issued ID; a health insurance card; a utility bill; a bank card or bank statement; or verification of identification by another adult who has known the voter for at least 6 months, including a poll worker. It is effective January 1, 2018. (ee) Absentee ballot applications (not absentee ballots) are required to be certified by various officials, depending on the reason for voting absentee, such as a college registrar, employer, or medical official.

TABLE 6 .7 Voting Statistics for Gubernatorial Elections (continued) Sources: The Council of State Governments’ survey of state elections web sites, March 2020. * Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands Key: N.A.—Not applicable (a) In 2018, the Democratic Primary was known as the ADL ballot, which featured candidates from the Democratic, Libertarian and Independence Parties. (b) California became an open primary state after passage of Proposition 14 in the June 2010 election. The top two vote-getters in primary races for congressional, state legislative and statewide offices, regardless of political party, will be in a face-off in the general election. (c) Candidate ran unopposed. (e) Republican vote total includes 25,388 votes from the Independent party. Democratic vote total includes 17,861 from the Working Families Party. (f) Louisiana has an open primary which requires all candidates, regardless of party affiliation, to appear on a single ballot. If a candidate receives over 50 percent of the vote in the primary, he is elected to the office. If no candidate receives a majority vote, then a single election is held between the two candidates receiving the most votes. (g) Nevada voters have the option to select “None of These Candidates.” If the “None of These Candidates” option receives the most votes in an election, the actual candidate who receives the most votes wins the election. In the Democratic primary, the

“None of These Candidates” option received 5,069 votes. In the Republican primary, 6,136 voters selected that option. The “None of These Candidates” option received 18,865 votes in the general election.

TABLE 6 .9 Statewide Initiative and Referendum (continued) Sources: The Council of State Governments’ survey of state election website, Initiative & Referendum Institute website and Ballotpedia websites, April 2020. * Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands Note: This table summarizes state provisions for initiatives and referendums. Initiatives may propose constitutional amendments or develop state legislation and may be formed either directly or indirectly. The direct initiative allows a proposed measure to be placed on the ballot after a specific number of signatures have been secured on a citizen petition. The indirect initiative must be submitted to the legislature for a decision after the required number of signatures has been secured on a petition and prior to placing the proposed measure on the ballot. Referendum refers to the process whereby a state law or constitutional amendment passed by the legislature may be referred to the voters before it goes into effect. Three forms of referendums exist: (1) citizen petition, whereby the people may petition for a referendum on legislation which has been con-

sidered by the legislature; (2) submission by the legislature (designated in table as “Legislative”), whereby the legislature may voluntarily submit laws to the voters for their approval; and (3) constitutional requirement, whereby the state constitution may require that certain questions be submitted to the voters.

This table outlines the steps necessary to enact a citizen’s petition. (b) Prior to circulating a statewide petition, a request for permission to do so must first be submitted to a specified state officer. Some states require such signatures to only be those of eligible voters. (c) The form on which the request for petition is submitted may be the responsibility of the sponsor or may be furnished by the state. (d) Restrictions may exist regarding the subject matter to which a referendum may be applied. The majority of these restrictions pertain to the dedication of state revenues and appropriations, and laws that maintain the preservation of public peace, safety and health. In Kentucky, referenda are only permitted for the establishment of soil and water and watershed conservation districts. (e) In some states, a list of individuals who contribute financially to the referendum campaign must be submitted to the specified state officer with whom the petition is filed.

(f) A deposit may be required after permission to circulate a petition has been granted. This amount is refunded when the completed petition has been filed correctly. (g) New fees/taxes requires 2/3 majority vote (h) The secretary of state charges a 10 cent fee per signature that must be verified for ballot consideration. (i) A referendum can only be placed on the ballot if authorized by a state law.

(j) Petition sponsor may submit proposed petition summary for approval to State Administrator of Elections but a formal request to circulate a petition is not required.

(m) Petitioners must prepare the summary, and submit it to the Ohio Attorney General, who then must certify whether the summary fully and accurately describes the proposal. (n) Five percent of legal voters based upon the total number of votes cast at the last general election for the state office receiving the highest number of votes (o) LC must also reasonably expect the measure to be put to a vote w/ verified # of signatures (4% for referendum of VG, statutory/ const amdts different) (p) May not challenge laws passed by two-thirds of each house of the legislature; any measure prohibiting/limiting wildlife hunting/management takes two-thirds vote in support. (q) No bills with an emergency clause. (r) The information required to be provided includes the name and signature of the person filing the petition, the names of up to three individuals who are authorized to withdraw or amend the petition, and the name of the Political Action Committee (PAC) formed to advocate for the passage of the petition.

Federal reimbursements for Medicaid expenditures from non-GRF sources are deposited into the appropriate federal fund. Expenditures of federal funds are contained in the General Fund number to be consistent with Ohio accounting practices and with other portrayals of Ohio’s general fund. This will tend to make Ohio’s GRF revenue and expenditures look higher relative to most other states that don’t follow this practice. Oklahoma—At this time adjustments to revenues (net cash flow or other possible adjustments) cannot be calculated, nor can any adjustments to expenditures be projected, such as a possible deposit into the Rainy Day Fund. Ending balance cannot be reasonably calculated at this time. Oregon—Revenue adjustments include: a revenue adjustment for a statutory transfer to local governments for local property tax relief. It is important to note that General Fund revenues for the 2019-21 biennium were reduced by approximately $423 million as a result of HB 3427.

Excellence in Education Fund. This creates a $200M discrepancy between the revenues reported in Table 7.2 versus total actual revenues reported in this table for fiscal 2019. Ohio—Corporate Income Tax: Ohio doesn’t have a corporate income tax and instead has a commercial activities tax (CAT). All Other General Revenue Fund Revenue: Federal reimbursements for Medicaid expenditures make up the majority of revenue in this category. The reduction between original fiscal year 2019 revenue estimates and actuals are the result of federal expenditures coming in below estimate. Th e Co unc i l o f St at e Go v er nment s  2 8 5

TABLE 7 .5 Comparison of General Fund Revenue Collections in Fiscal 2018, Fiscal 2019, and Enacted Fiscal 2020 (In millions of dollars) (continued) Source: National Association of State Budget Officers, Fall 2019. Note: Unless otherwise noted, fiscal 2018 figures reflect actual collections, fiscal 2019 figures reflect preliminary actual collections, and fiscal 2020 figures reflect the estimates based on states’ enacted budgets. Key: N/A.—Indicates data are not available because, in most cases, these states do not have that type of tax, or it is not part of the general fund. (a) Total—include state collections by revenue type where amounts were provided/applicable for all three years; Michigan’s fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019 figures are excluded from the totals for all revenue types, as the state was not able to provide amounts for fiscal 2020. Arkansas—Revenue amounts here are reported as “gross” (before refunds and special dedications/payments). Maryland—Legislative action in 2018 diverted $200M from individual income tax revenues to the Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education Fund. This creates a $200M discrepancy between the revenues reported in Table 7.2 versus total revenues reported in this table for fiscal 2019. Massachusetts—Figures for FY18-FY20 are re-stated to better align with the State Expenditure Report and be more comparable to most other states, which book federally reimbursed expenditures in a separate federal fund. Michigan—Michigan’s fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019 figures are excluded from the totals for all revenue types, as the state was not able to provide amounts for fiscal 2020. Ohio—Corporate Income Tax: Ohio doesn’t have a corporate income tax and instead has a commercial activities tax (CAT).

ing in below estimate. Tennessee—Sales tax, personal income tax, and corporate income tax are shared with local governments. Corporate income tax includes franchise tax. Texas—Included increased forecast for General Fund spending do to passage of House Bill 1525 and Comptroller’s issuance of new guidance. As a result of the Legislature’s restructuring of the Education Fund’s revenue sources in the As Passed FY 2019 budget, there was a decrease of -$301.2M in the annual transfer of General Funds to the Education Fund. In lieu of the annual transfer of General Funds to the Education Fund, 100% of Sales and Use and 25% of Meals and Rooms taxes will be deposited directly into the Education Fund, which were revenues previously attributed to the General Fund. As part of the fiscal year 2019 Budget Adjustment bill, $272.4M of the State Health Care Resources Fund ongoing revenue sources will be recognized as General Fund Revenue, and this shift in recognition of revenue sources accounts for the upward change in fiscal year 2019 General Fund revenue as compared to what was reported in the Fall 2018 survey. Vermont—As a result of the Legislature’s restructuring of the Education Fund’s revenue sources in the As Passed FY 2019 budget, there was a decrease of -$301.2M in the annual transfer of General Funds to the Education Fund.

STATE FIN A N CE

TABLE 7 .6 Total State Expenditures: Capital Inclusive (In millions of dollars) (continued) Source: National Association of State Budget Officers, 2019 State Expenditure Report. Notes: Small dollar amounts, when rounded, cause an aberration in the percentage increase. In these instances, the actual dollar amounts should be consulted to determine the exact percentage increase. “State funds” refers to general funds plus other state fund spending. State spending from bonds is excluded. “Total funds” refers to funding from all sources -- general fund, federal funds, other state funds and bonds. For all states, Medicaid reflects provider taxes, fees, assessments, donations, and local funds in Other State Funds. Key: N/A — Not available (a) Alabama: Amounts shown in fiscal years 2017 and 2018 are based on actual expenditures during these years, regardless of the year appropriated. Fiscal 2019 amounts shown are equal to actual expenditures through 9 months (June 30, 2019) and then annualized for the year. Arkansas: Fiscal 2018 Amounts were modified to reflect actual final funding and were previously based on estimates. California: The fiscal 2019 spending increase for the General Fund is primarily due to supplemental pension payments, local assistance for healthcare programs, fire protection resources for CalFIRE, planning and progress grants to address homelessness, and transfers to the State Project Infrastructure Fund to support capital outlay projects. The fiscal 2019 spending increase for Other State Funds is generally due to various department program expenditure changes including carryovers and reappropriations. Maryland: FY 2017 Federal Fund Revenues were restated due to clerical error. Massachusetts: Fiscal 2019 estimated general fund expenditures are as of July 31, 2019. Ohio: Federal reimbursements for Medicaid expenditures funded from the General Revenue Fund (GRF) are deposited into the GRF. Federal reimbursements for Medicaid expenditures from non-GRF sources are deposited into the appropriate federal fund. Expenditures of federal funds are contained in the General Fund number to be consistent with Ohio accounting practices and with other portrayals of Ohio’s general fund. This amounts to $9,757.9 million in fiscal 2019. This will tend to make Ohio’s GRF expenditures

2 92  The B ook of t h e St at e s 2 0 2 0

look higher and conversely make Ohio’s federal expenditures look lower relative to most other states that don’t follow this practice. Also, inherent in Ohio’s budgetary accounting environment are significant overstatements of total state spending due to two phenomena. First, fiduciary fund expenditures represent the distribution of funds collected by the state on behalf of other entities. These are not operating, program, or subsidy expenditures of the state. Examples of this would be the collection and distribution of county and local permissive sales taxes or motor vehicle registration taxes. Fiduciary fund group expenditures totaled $7,848.6 million in fiscal 2019. Second, “double counting” of revenue and expenditures related to intrastate transactions overstates overall state expenditure activity. Intrastate transactions totaled $755.4 million in fiscal 2019. These accounting practices will tend to make Ohio’s “All-Other” expenditures look higher, on a dollar and percentage basis, and conversely make Ohio’s other categories look lower, on a percentage basis, relative to other states that don’t follow similar practices. Tennessee: Collects personal income tax on income from dividends on stocks and interest on certain bonds. Tax revenue estimates do not include federal funds and other departmental revenues. However, federal funds and other departmental revenues are included in the budget as funding sources for the general fund, along with state tax revenues. Texas: The decrease in spending for fiscal 2019 is due to its biennial budget process, with the first year of the biennium being front loaded and the subsequent fiscal year not carrying those funding levels forward. The levels vary across individual programs for a large swath of state agencies. The funding from the prior year is often able to be carried forward within the biennium should the agency not expend the funds during the previous fiscal year. Utah: When funds are transferred from General Funds to restricted accounts, Utah was previously reporting the final expenditures under Other State Funds. For this survey and future surveys, Utah is now reporting the expenditures under the original funding source, General Funds. Wyoming: Part of Wyoming’s yearly variation in expenditure totals is due to the fact that the state budgets on a two-year cycle.

STATE F I N A N C E

TABLE 7 .7 Elementary and Secondary Education Expenditures (In millions of dollars) (continued) Source: National Association of State Budget Officers, 2019 State Expenditure Report. Notes: Small dollar amounts, when rounded, cause an aberration in the percentage determine the exact percentage increase. Key: N/A—Not available (a) Alabama: Federal Funds received directly by local school systems are not reported at state budget level. Totals include capital expenditures. Colorado: School personnel are paid at the school district level -state costs for employer contributions to employee pensions and health benefits only reflect Colorado Dept. of Education personnel. Funds library-related programs across the state. Regarding capital expenditures, some funding for school facilities certificates of participation are included. Maryland: The $112 million increase in Elementary and Secondary Education General Funds from FY 2018 to FY 2019 is largely driven by education local aid formulas. The $85 million increase

in Elementary and Secondary Education Other State Funds from FY 2018 to FY 2019 is mostly due to increased Education Trust Fund revenues, generated by casino proceeds. Ohio: Employer contributions to current employees’ pensions are not directly appropriated, or fully funded, by the state; however, some of the unrestricted support provided to localities for elementary and secondary education is used to help cover these costs. There are no direct appropriations for employer contributions to health benefits, though it can be assumed that some of the unrestricted support provided for elementary and secondary education is used for these costs. Texas: Texas’ decrease in spending for fiscal 2019 is due to its biennial budget process, with the first year of the biennium being front loaded and the subsequent fiscal year not carrying those funding levels forward. The levels vary across individual programs for a large swath of state agencies. The funding from the prior year is often able to be carried forward within the biennium should the agency not expend the funds during the previous fiscal year.

TA BLE 7 .8 Medicaid Expenditures (In millions of dollars) (continued) Source: National Association of State Budget Officers, 2019 State Expenditure Report. Notes: States were asked to report Medicaid expenditures as follows: General funds: all general funds appropriated to the Medicaid agency and any other agency which are used for direct Medicaid matching purposes under Title XIX. Other state funds: other funds and revenue sources used as Medicaid match, such as local funds and provider taxes, fees, donations, assessments (as defined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services). Federal Funds: all federal matching funds provided pursuant to Title XIX. (1) The states were asked to separately detail the amount of provider taxes, fees, donations, assessments and local funds reported as Other State Funds. (2) Small dollar amounts, when rounded, cause an aberration in the percentage increase. In these instances, the actual dollar amounts should be consulted to determine the exact percentage increase. (3) “State funds” refers to general funds plus other state fund spending. State spending from bonds is excluded. (4) “Total funds” refers to funding from all sources -- general fund, federal funds, other state funds and bonds. (5) For all states, Medicaid reflects provider taxes, fees, assessments, donations, and local funds in Other State Funds. Key: N/A - Not available (a) Alabama: Other State Funds includes Medicaid provider taxes in the amounts of: $377M for FY17; $374M for FY18; and $397M for Estimated FY19. Connecticut: The Medicaid appropriation in the Department of Social Services (DSS) is “net funded” while other Medicaid expenditures remain gross funded, with federal funds deposited directly to the State Treasury (Funding for the Hospital Supplemental Payments account in DSS was net funded in FY 17 but is gross funded beginning in FY 18). With the exception of enhanced FMAP available for certain populations and services, CT’s FMAP is 50%. Includes Medicaid expenditures for administrative services organizations and fiscal intermediaries in DSS. Excludes state portion of Medicare Savings Program and School Based Child Health as those expenditures are netted out of federal Medicaid reimbursement. Also excludes provider taxes, which are deposited directly to the State Treasury. Colorado: CHIP expenditures are excluded from the Medicaid category and added to the All Other category to adhere more closely to the survey directions. In previous surveys, CHIP expenditures were included in Medicaid.

Maine: In last year’s State Expenditure Report, Medicaid, Other State Funds, 2017 Actual was reported as $274 and should have been $266; 2018 Actual was reported as $274 and should have been $312. Massachusetts: Figures for fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018 are re-stated to better differentiate federal spending on Medicaid. New York: Medicaid spending includes all agencies with reported Medicaid spending consistent with State’s Financial Plan. Medicaid spending reported in prior surveys excluded spending from agencies other than the Department of Health. Ohio: Federal reimbursements for Medicaid expenditures funded from the General Revenue Fund (GRF) are deposited into the GRF. Federal reimbursements for Medicaid expenditures from non-GRF sources are deposited into the appropriate federal fund. Expenditures of federal funds are contained in the General Fund number to be consistent with Ohio accounting practices and with other portrayals of Ohio’s general fund. This amounts to $9,757.9 million in fiscal 2019. This will tend to make Ohio’s GRF expenditures look higher and conversely make Ohio’s federal expenditures look lower relative to most other states that don’t follow this practice. Tennessee: Premium revenue: fiscal 2017 totals $323 million, fiscal 2018 totals $323 million, and fiscal 2019 totals $323 million. Certified Public Expenditures – Local fund from Hospitals: fiscal 2017 totals $200 million, fiscal 2018 totals $204 million, and fiscal 2019 totals $150 million. Nursing Home Tax: fiscal 2017 totals $121 million, fiscal 2018 totals $121 million, and fiscal 2019 totals $130 million. ICF/MR 6 percent Gross Receipts Tax: fiscal 2017 totals $11 million, fiscal 2018 totals $11 million, and fiscal 2019 totals $11 million. Intergovernmental Transfers: fiscal 2017 totals $100 million, fiscal 2018 totals $100 million, and fiscal 2019 totals $100 million. Texas: Medicaid figures in this survey submission reflect only programs which the non-federal share is state General Revenue. Medicaid supplemental payments (i.e. uncompensated care, delivery system reform incentive program), funded primarily through local intergovernmental transfers, are excluded from this survey. Vermont: The breakdown of local funds, etc. included in Other State Funds is as follows for fiscal 2017 (in millions): provider tax $159; employee assessment $19; local match provided by schools $23; tobacco litigation settlement funds $30; other $131. The breakdown is as follows for fiscal 2018: provider tax $164; employee assessment $20; local match provided by schools $27; tobacco litigation settlement funds $21; other $149. The breakdown is as follows for estimated fiscal 2019: provider tax N/A; employee assessment N/A; local match provided by schools $28; tobacco litigation settlement funds $20; other $61.

TA BLE 7 .9 Higher Education Expenditures—Capital Inclusive (In millions of dollars) (continued) Source: National Association of State Budget Officers, 2019 State Expenditure Report. Notes: 1. Small dollar amounts, when rounded, cause an aberration in the percentage increase. In these instances, the actual dollar amounts should be consulted to determine the exact percentage increase. 2. “State funds” refers to general funds plus other state fund spending. State spending from bonds is excluded. 3. “Total funds” refers to funding from all sources—general fund, federal funds, other state funds, and bonds. Key: N/A — Not available (a) Alabama: Capital expenditures are not captured/available at state budget level. Reported Bond Funds for Higher Ed represent bond proceeds paid directly to vendors by the State’s Debt Management division. Colorado: HED colleges and universities pay pension and health benefits out of their allotments, which include but are not limited to, state general fund appropriations (as well as tuition and other sources). Tuition and fee are paid straight to institutions by the student, or on behalf of the student, and show up as cash funds to the institutions in the state budget; however not all fees charges by institutions are included, only mandatory fees charged to most students are included. Only a small part of research in E&G is funded by the state; for all practical purposes it is funded by outside grants. The College Opportunity Fund (COF) provides some (stipend) funds to students who attend private colleges and universities. However, this sum is very small relative to the total expenditure; as such, it is categorized as excluded for purposes of this survey. Kansas: Employer contributions to employee health benefits excludes the contributions of USDs for their employee health benefits; includes contributions for KSDE employees.

Maryland: FY 2017 Actual for bond funds was updated to include an additional $248,000 in bond funds from Baltimore City Community College that were inadvertently omitted. Prior years submission excluded Academic Revenue Bonds from the the Total Bond Funds. Total Bond Funds includes these bonds in this submission. New York: Spending for 2018 Other State Funds has been adjusted from the prior year survey to include $4 million in Higher Education Facilities Corporation spending. Ohio: Employer contributions to current employees’ pensions and employer contributions to employee health benefits are not direct expenditures of the state; however, some of the unrestricted support provided to higher education institutions can be assumed to have been used to help cover these costs. The majority of careertechnical education/vocational education is funded through appropriations made to the Ohio Department of Education for career-technical/vocational education for students starting as early as the 7th grade. Ohio provides assistance to private colleges and universities through financial aid to students with the greatest need through the Ohio College Opportunity Grant (OCOG). Students attending private colleges and universities are eligible to receive OCOG.

New York: Prior years surveys included spending from the Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS). Based upon the provided definition of Corrections expenditures, we have determined these costs should be excluded, as such, this year’s survey no longer includes DCJS spending in the reported 2017, 2018 and 2019 totals for Corrections expenditures.

Ohio: While employer contributions to current employees’ pensions and employer contributions to employee health benefits are included in the expenditure totals, agencies do not receive specific appropriations for these purposes. As of fiscal year 2016, drug recovery services within Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (DRC) institutions are provided by the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. However, DRC continues to fund drug abuse rehabilitation programs in community settings through per-bed or per-diem payments to Halfway Houses and Community Based Correctional Facilities. West Virginia: In fiscal 2019, West Virginia enacted a code change that combined the Division of Corrections, Regional Jail Authority, and Juvenile Services into one division. It is now the Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

TA BLE 7 .1 3 All Other Expenditures—Capital Inclusive (In millions of dollars) (continued) Source: National Association of State Budget Officers, 2019 Expenditure Report Notes: 1. Small dollar amounts, when rounded, cause an aberration in the percentage increase. In these instances, the actual dollar amounts should be consulted to determine the exact percentage increase. 2. “State funds” refers to general funds plus other state fund spending. State spending from bonds is excluded. 3. “Total funds” refers to funding from all sources—general fund, federal funds, other state funds, and bonds. Key: N/A — Not available (a) Alabama: Capital expenditures from Federal and Other State Funds are not reported separately; combined amounts are included in the Other State Funds. Colorado: CHIP expenditures are excluded from the Medicaid category and added to the All Other category to adhere more closely to the survey directions. In previous surveys, CHIP expenditures were included in Medicaid.

Ohio: While employer contributions to current employees’ pensions and employer contributions to employee health benefits are included in the expenditure totals, agencies do not receive specific appropriations for these purposes. Some expenditures in community and institutional care for the developmentally disabled are included in the Medicaid totals. Most of the expenditures of the Ohio Housing Finance Agency occur outside of the state financial system and are excluded from the housing totals. Texas: Regarding the All Other Federal Funds category, figures for 2017 and 2018 are actuals and estimated expenditures respectively. However, for 2019 the most concrete numbers available are what was appropriated by the legislature in the previous budget setting session. The figure will likely increase after the fiscal year ends on August 31st and the agencies report the actual expenditures. For example, Hurricane Harvey expenditures were not originally budgeted, but the CDBG expenditures will be accounted for following end of year reporting.

TA BLE 7 .1 4 State Tax Amnesty Programs, 1982—2019 (continued) Source: The Federation of Tax Administrators, January 2019. *Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands Key: N/A—Not available. (a) Where applicable, figure includes local portions of certain taxes collected under the state tax amnesty program. (b) “No” indicates requirement of full payment by the expiration of the amnesty period. “Yes” indicates allowance of full payment after the expiration of the amnesty period. (c) Authority for amnesty derived from pre-existing statutory powers permitting the waiver of tax penalties. (d) Does not include intangibles tax and drug taxes. Gross collections totaled $22.1 million, with $13.7 million in penalties withdrawn. (e) Preliminary figure. (f) Amnesty taxpayers were billed for the interest owed, with payment due within 30 days of notification. (g) Figure includes $1.1 million for the separate program conducted by the Department of Natural Resources for the boat excise tax. (h) The amnesty statute was construed to extend the amnesty to those who applied to the department before the end of the amnesty period, and permitted them to file overdue returns and pay back taxes and interest at a later date. (i) The severance taxes, including the six oil and gas severance taxes, the resources excise tax, the corporate franchise tax, and the special fuels tax were not subject to amnesty. (j) Availability of amnesty for the corporation tax, the oil company taxes, the transportation and transmissions companies tax, the gross receipts oil tax and the unincorporated business tax restricted to entities with 500 or fewer employees in the United States on the date of application. In addition, a taxpayer principally engaged in aviation, or a utility subject to the supervision of the State Department of Public Service was also ineligible. (k) Local taxes and real property taxes were not included. (l) Full payment of tax liability required before the end of the amnesty period to avoid civil penalties.

(m) Texas does not impose a corporate or individual income tax. In practical effect, the amnesty was limited to the sales tax and other excises. (n) Waiver terms varied depending upon the date of tax liability was accessed. (o) Installment arrangements were permitted if applicant demonstrated that payment would present a severe financial hardship. (p) Does not include real property taxes. For the 1995 amnesty, all interest was waived on tax payments made before July 31, 1995. After this date, only 50% of the interest was waived. (q) Exception for individuals who owed $500 or less. (r) Except for property and motor fuel taxes. (s) Multiple payments can be made so long as the required balance is paid in full no later than March 15, 2003. (t) All taxes except property, estate and unclaimed property. (u) Does not include the motor fuel use tax. (v) All NYC taxes administered by the NYC Dept. of Finance are covered except for Real Estate Tax. NYC Sales & Use Tax & NYC Resident Personal Income Tax also are not covered because they are administered by the NY State Dept. of Taxation & Finance. (w) Taxpayers under audit as of 3/10/03 are ineligible; Taxpayers with an existing installment agreement are ineligible; Taxpayers under criminal investigation are ineligible; Taxpayers party to an administrative or court proceeding must withdraw as a condition of. (x) The Massachusetts Department of Revenue is required to hold an amnesty to end before June 30, 2010. (y) In Illinois, the 2010 Amnesty collected a total of $717 million, $314 million for the state General Fund and the rest for local governments.

TA BLE 7 .1 5 D State Cannabis Taxes and Legal Status: July 2020 (continued) Source: The Federation of Tax Administrators and The Council of State Governments’ survey of state web sites, July 2020. * Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands Notes: 1. Hemp-derived CBD products are legal under Federal Law in the United States; however, individual state laws vary widely. The states may enact their own laws governing hemp-derived CBD. 2. The 2018 Farm Bill re-classified hemp as an agricultural commodity and made its cultivation federally legal. This created a legal distinction between hemp and marijuana. Hemp is defined as cannabis with less than 0.3% THC, and marijuana refers to cannabis with more than 0.3% THC. This distinction under federal law legalized CBD derived from cannabis with less than 0.3% THC, as long as it has been cultivated following federal and state regulations. Under federal legal criteria, CBD oil must contain no more

than 0.3 percent THC. The 2018 Farm Bill legislation does not legalize CBD throughout the United States. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the authority to regulate CBD product labeling, therapeutic claims and the use of CBD as a food additive. The FDA has declared that hemp-derived CBD may not be added to food and beverages, or marketed as a dietary supplement. The agency prohibits labeling that could be interpreted as medical claims about CBD. The Farm Bill, in addition to regulating CBD also gave states the option to regulate and prohibit the cultivation and commerce of CBD. States may still regulate CBD in food, beverages, dietary supplements, and cosmetic products independently, even before the FDA finalizes its policies. There are currently no laws in the CNMI stating that CBD cannot be used as an additive in food.

Key: (a) Within insurance trust revenue, net earnings of state-administered pension systems is a calculated statistic (the item code in the data file is X08), and thus can be positive or negative. Net earnings is the sum of earnings on investments plus gains on investments minus losses on investments. The change made in 2002 for asset valuation from book to market value in accordance with Statement 34 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board is reflected in the calculated statistics.

TABLE 7 .3 0 Membership of State Public-Employee Pension Systems By State: Fiscal Year 2018 (continued) Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2018 Annual Survey of Public Pensions: State- and Locally-Administered Defined Benefit Data. Notes: 1.Data users who create their own estimates using these data should cite the U.S. Census Bureau as the source of the original data only. The data in this table are based on information from public records and contain no confidential data. The data in this table come from a sample of governmental units and are thus subject to both sampling and nonsampling error. Additional information on nonsampling error, response rates, and definitions may be found within the survey methodology https://www2.census. gov/programs-surveys/aspp/technical-documentation/methodolog y/2018/2018surveymethodology.pdf. 2. Effective with the 2012 survey cycle, the Annual Survey of Public Pensions: State-Administered Defined Benefit Data revised the survey form to implement changes in asset classification. These changes apply to the categories designated as corporate stocks, corporate bonds, federal government securities, state and local government securities, and other securities. Federally-sponsored agency securities are classified under federal government securities instead of corporate bonds. Private equity, venture capital, and leverage buyouts are classified under corporate stocks instead

3 60  The B ook of t h e St at e s 2 0 2 0

of other securities. Due to these changes in asset classification, there are shifts in the distribution of assets from corporate bonds to federal government securities and from other securities to corporate stocks. However, since investment decisions guide the distribution of assets, we cannot calculate the exact impact that the changes in classification had on the asset distribution for 2012. As such, for the above mentioned asset categories, any data comparisons between data from 2012 to the present, and data prior to 2012 should be exercised with caution. 3. Pension obligations and Covered payroll for defined benefit pension systems are only collected at the state level. 4 .Detail may not add to total due to rounding. Key: (a) There are exceptions to the fiscal year rule for the state pension systems in Alabama, Michigan, and Texas. For systems in these states, the fiscal year moves beyond the June 30 cutoff. The data for the survey year 2018 covers the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 for Texas and September 30, 2018 for Alabama and Michigan. These exceptions are made to better align the data with the Survey of State Government Finances.

TABLE 7 .3 1 Finances of State-Administered Public-Employee Pension Systems, by State: Fiscal Year 2018* (In thousands of dollars) (continued) Source: 2018 Annual Survey of Public Pensions: State- and LocallyAdministered Defined Benefit Data. Notes: 1. Data users who create their own estimates using these data should cite the U.S. Census Bureau as the source of the original data only. The data in this table are based on information from public records and contain no confidential data. The data in this table come from a sample of governmental units and are thus subject to both sampling and nonsampling error. Additional information on nonsampling error, response rates, and definitions may be found within the survey methodology <https://www2.census. gov/programs-surveys/aspp/technical-documentation/methodolo gy/2018/2018surveymethodology.pdf?#> 2. *Effective with the 2012 survey cycle, the Annual Survey of Public Pensions: State-Administered Defined Benefit Data revised the survey form to implement changes in asset classification. These changes apply to the categories designated as corporate stocks, corporate bonds, federal government securities, state and local government securities, and other securities. Federally-sponsored agency securities are classified under federal government securities instead of corporate bonds. Private equity, venture capital, and leverage buyouts are classified under corporate stocks instead of other securities. Due to these changes in asset classification, there are shifts in the distribution of assets from corporate bonds to federal government securities and from other securities to corporate stocks. However, since investment decisions guide the distribution of assets, we cannot calculate the exact impact that the changes in classification had on the asset distribution for 2012. As such, for the above mentioned asset categories, any data comparisons between data from 2012 to the present, and data prior to 2012 should be exercised with caution.

3. Pension obligations and Covered payroll for defined benefit pension systems are only collected at the state level. 4. Detail may not add to total due to rounding. Key: (a) There are exceptions to the fiscal year rule for the state pension systems in Alabama, Michigan, and Texas. For systems in these states, the fiscal year moves beyond the June 30 cutoff. The data for the survey year 2018 covers the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 for Texas and September 30, 2018 for Alabama and Michigan. These exceptions are made to better align the data with the Survey of State Government Finances. (b) The total of “net earnings� is a calculated statistic and thus can be positive or negative. Net earnings is the sum of earnings on investments plus gains on investments minus losses on investments. The change made in 2002 for asset valuation from book to market value in accordance with Statement 34 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board is reflected in the calculated statistics.

TABLE 9 .2 Number and Percentage Distribution of Teachers in Traditional Public and Public Charter Elementary and Secondary Schools, by Instructional Level and Selected Teacher and School Characteristics: 2017–18 (continued) Source: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS), “Public School Teacher Data File,” 2017–18. (This table was prepared November 2019.) Note: Excludes teachers who teach only prekindergarten. Data are based on a head count of full-time and part-time teachers rather than on the number of full-time-equivalent teachers reported in other tables. Teachers were classified as elementary or secondary on the basis of the grades they taught, rather than on the level of the school in which they taught. In general, elementary teachers include those teaching prekindergarten through grade 6 and those teaching multiple grades, with a preponderance of grades taught being kindergarten through grade 6. In general, secondary teachers include those teaching any of grades 7 through 12 and those teaching multiple grades, with a preponderance of grades taught being grades 7 through 12 and usually with no grade taught being lower than grade 5. Detail may not sum to totals

because of rounding and cell suppression. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Standard errors appear in the original online report. See source cited above. Key: ‡ — Reporting standards not met. Either there are too few cases for a reliable estimate or the coefficient of variation (CV) is 50 percent or greater. (a) Education specialist degrees or certificates are generally awarded for 1 year’s work beyond the master’s level. Includes certificate of advanced graduate studies. (b) Refers to certification of teachers to teach in the state where they are currently teaching. A teaching certificate is probationary if all requirements have been satisfied except completion of a probationary period. It is provisional or temporary if additional coursework, student teaching, or passage of a test is required to obtain regular certification. It is a waiver or emergency certificate if a certification program must be completed to continue teaching.

(This table was prepared November 2019.) Note: This table includes regular full-time teachers only; it excludes other staff even when they have full-time teaching duties (regular part-time teachers, itinerant teachers, long-term substitutes, administrators, library media specialists, other professional staff, and support staff). Teachers’ base salary does not include any supplemental contracts for additional work at a school during the school year (e.g., coaching) or during the summer (e.g., teaching

summer sessions). Also does not include any income from nonschool sources. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Key: ‡—Reporting standards not met. Data may be suppressed because the response rate is under 50 percent, there are too few cases for a reliable estimate, or the coefficient of variation (CV) is 50 percent or greater. (a) Teachers were asked how many school years they had worked as a teacher. They were also asked how many of their teaching years were full time and how many were part time. Throughout this table, all school years are counted, regardless of whether teachers taught full time or part time.

These adults have incomes above Medicaid eligibility limits in their state but below the lower limit for marketplace premium tax credits, which begin at 100% of poverty. In non-expansion states, the median income eligibility level for parents is 40% of poverty and 0% for childless adults. People in the coverage gap are concentrated in Southern states, with the largest number of people in the coverage gap in Texas (759,000 people, or 31%) followed by Florida (445,000, or 17%), Georgia (267,000, or 11%), and North Carolina (215,000, or 8%).

percentage. Still others permit distributors to claim stock losses in reconciliations of inventories, thus exempting the lost volume from taxation. Losses by destruction, where reported separately, are also included in this column. The maximum allowance used in the analysis to cover losses in storage and handling was one percent. Because of accounting methods, losses can be reported as a net gain.

Note: Jurisdiction refers to the legal authority of state or federal correctional officials over a prisoner, regardless of where the prisoner is held. For jurisdiction-level information, see Jurisdiction notes on the BJS website. Estimates were provided by state and federal departments of corrections’ administrative record systems and may not reflect prisoners’ self-identification of race or ethnicity. State, federal, and national totals by race or ethnicity differ from other tables in this report due to adjustments that BJS made in other tables to correct for differences between administrative records and prisoner self-reported data on race or ethnicity. As of December 31, 2001, sentenced felons from the District of Columbia were the responsibility of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP). Key: N.A.—Not applicable. State does not track this race or ethnicity. N.R.—Not reported. (a) Excludes persons of Hispanic origin (e.g., “white” refers to non-

Hispanic whites and “black” refers to non-Hispanic blacks). (b) The BOP does not separate persons of Hispanic origin from the individual race categories when reporting to the National Prisoner Statistics (NPS). To do so, BJS used data from the 2018 Federal Justice Statistics Program (preliminary). (c) Asians, Native Hawaiians, and Other Pacific Islanders were combined into a single category and reported as Asian. (d) Persons of Hispanic origin may be undercounted due to ongoing changes in information systems. (e) State did not submit 2018 NPS data on race or ethnicity. Counts were imputed.

For jurisdiction-level information, see Jurisdiction notes on the BJS website. Counts cover January 1 through December 31 for each year and are based on prisoners admitted to or released from state or federal correctional authorities with a sentence of more than one year. As of December 31, 2001, sentenced felons from the District of Columbia were the responsibility of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Key: N.C. — Not calculated. Counts and rates for 2017 and 2018 are not comparable. N.R. — Not reported (a) Excludes transfers, escapes, and absences without leave. Includes other conditional-release violators, returns from appeal or bond, and other admissions. In 2018, 15,859 (2.7%) of total admissions were due to other conditional-release violations, returns from appeal or bond, and other types of admissions not included among new court commitments or conditional-supervision violations. See Methodology. (b)Excludes transfers, escapes, and absences without leave. Includes deaths, releases to appeal or bond, and other releases. In 2018, 14,502 (2.4%) of total releases were due to death, releases to appeal or bond, releases to treatment facilities, and other types of releases not included among unconditional or conditional releases. See Methodology. (c) Includes all conditional-release violators returned to prison from post-custody community supervision, including parole and probation, either for violations of conditions of release or for new crimes. (d) Includes expirations of sentence, commutations, and other unconditional releases. (e) Includes releases to probation, supervised mandatory releases, and other unspecified conditional releases. (f) Includes adult prisoners held in non-secure community-corrections facilities and adults and persons age 17 or younger held in privately operated facilities. The 270 conditional releases from federal correctional facilities are persons who were sentenced before the 1984 Sentencing Reform Act, which eliminated federal parole. (g) U.S. total and state estimates for 2017 include imputed counts for New Mexico, North Dakota, and Vermont, which did not submit 2017 National Prisoner Statistics (NPS) data on admissions and releases. U.S. total and state estimates for 2018 include imputed counts for New Hampshire, Oregon, and Vermont, which did not submit 2018 NPS data on admissions or releases. See Methodology in this report and in Prisoners in 2017 (NCJ 252156, BJS, April 2019).

(h) Prisons and jails form one integrated system. Data include total jail and prison populations. (i) Releases include offenders who received a combined sentence of prison and probation of more than one year. (j) Florida does not report prison admissions for technical violations. All admissions represent new sentences. The 77 admissions due to supervision violations represent persons who committed new crimes while on post-custody community supervision. (k) Due to errors in an undetermined number of admission and release records, Maine’s counts of admissions and releases for 2018 should be regarded as preliminary. (l) Due to implementation concerns with a new information system, Maryland’s counts of admissions and releases for 2017 and 2018 are estimates. (m) Admissions include local jail inmates admitted to the Nevada Department of Corrections due to medical, behavioral, protective, or local staffing issues and persons ordered by judges to serve 6 months or less in prison prior to actual sentencing for felonies. (n) State did not submit 2018 NPS data on admissions or releases. Total and detailed types of admissions and releases were imputed. Estimates of admissions and releases in 2018 are not comparable to data for previous years. See Methodology and Jurisdiction notes on the BJS website. (o) State did not submit 2017 NPS data on admissions and releases. Total and detailed types of admissions and releases were imputed and included in U.S. and state totals. See Methodology and Jurisdiction notes on the BJS website. (p) Includes all admissions and releases from state prison, regardless of sentence length. See Jurisdiction notes on the BJS website. (q) State did not report 2017 NPS data on admissions or releases and reported only the total number of admissions and releases in 2018 without detail. (r) State did not submit 2017 or 2018 NPS data on admissions or releases. Total and detailed types of admissions and releases were imputed and included in U.S. and state totals. See Methodology in this report and in Prisoners in 2017 (NCJ 252156, BJS, April 2019), as well as 2017 and 2018 Jurisdiction notes on the BJS website. (s) Admission and release data are based on fiscal year and are preliminary.

TABLE 9 .2 9 Prison Facility Capacity, Custody Population, and Percent of Capacity: December 31, 2018 (continued) Source: Bureau of Justice Statistics, National Prisoner Statistics, 2018; Prisoners in 2018 NCJ 253516; Date 4/30/2020 Note: Excludes prisoners held in local jails, other states, or private facilities, unless otherwise noted. Rated capacity is the number of prisoners or beds that a facility can hold as set by a rating official. Operational capacity is the number of prisoners that a facility can hold based on staffing and services. Design capacity is the number of prisoners that a facility can hold as set by the architect or planner. Lowest capacity represents the minimum estimate of capacity submitted by the jurisdiction, while highest capacity represents the maximum estimate of capacity. When a jurisdiction could provide only a single estimate of capacity, it was used as both the lowest and highest capacity. For jurisdiction-level information, see Jurisdiction notes on the BJS website. As of December 31, 2001, sentenced felons from the District of Columbia were the responsibility of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Key: N/A — Not available. State does not measure this type of capacity. N.R. — Not reported.

(a) Due to differences in the dates when data were extracted, the federal custody count reported for the calculation of capacity differs slightly from the year-end custody count reported in the National Prisoner Statistics (NPS). The count includes all federal prisoners, regardless of conviction status or sentence length. (b) State defines capacity differently than BJS does. See Jurisdiction notes on the BJS website. (c) Alaska’s capacity excludes non-traditional confinement such as halfway houses and electronic monitoring. (d) Private facilities are included in capacity and custody counts. (e) Illinois’ rated capacity is under revision, and these numbers are the ceiling operational capacity. Numbers are not comparable to prior reports. (f) Indiana’s capacity includes state-owned facilities that are staffed with employees of a private correctional company. (g) Maryland’s operational capacity may include some pre-trial detainee beds excluded from the custody count. (h) Assumed to have not changed from the most recent year the state submitted NPS data.

Sources: The U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Statistics, Capital Punishment, 2016 - Statistical Tables, April 2018; The Death Penalty Information Center, 2020. * Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands Notes: 1. The United States Supreme Court ruling in Roper v. Simmons, 543 U.S. 551 (2005) declared unconstitutional the imposition of the death penalty on persons under the age of 18. 2. The United States Supreme Court ruling in Atkins v. Virginia, 536 U.S. 304 (2002) declared unconstitutional the imposition of the death penalty on mentally handicapped persons. 3. The method of execution of Federal prisoners is lethal injection, pursuant to 28 CFR, Part 26. For offenses under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, the execution method is that of the State in which the conviction took place (18 U.S.C. 3596). Key: … — No capital punishment statute. (a) Arizona authorizes lethal injection for persons sentenced after November 15, 1992; inmates sentenced before that date may select lethal injection or gas. (b) Lethal injection is the method unless it is “invalidated by a finald and unappealable court order” and then the execution shall be electrocution.” (c) On April 25, 2012, Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy signed into law a bill (SB 280) repealing the state’s death penalty. The repeal law did not affect the status of the 11 prisoners then on death row. The Connecticut Supreme Court subsequently ruled in August 2015 that the death penalty violated the state constitution. The Court reaffirmed that holding in May 2016 and reiterated that the state’s remaining death row prisoners must be resentenced to life without possibility of parole. (d) The Delaware Supreme Court declared the state’s death-penalty statute unconstutitional in 2016. The state’s 13 former death-row prisoners have been resentenced to life without parole. (e) The United States Supreme Court struck a portion of the Louisiana capital statute on June 25, 2008 (Kennedy v. Louisiana, U.S. 128 S.Ct. 2641). The statute (La. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 14:42(D)(2))

allowing execution as a punishment for the rape of a minor when no murder had been committed had been ruled constitutionally permissible by the Louisiana Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court found that since no national consensus existed for application of the death penalty in cases of rape where no murder had been committed, such laws constitute cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. The ruling affects laws passed in Florida, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and Montana. (f) Governor Pat Quinn signed a bill (SB 3539) on March 9, 2011 that abolishes the death penalty effective July 1, 2011. He commuted all death sentences to life without parole. (g) Kentucky authorizes lethal injection for persons sentenced on or after March 31, 1998; inmates sentenced before that date may select lethal injection or electrocution. (h) On May 2, 2013, Governor Martin O’Malley signed into law a bill (SB 276) that abolishes the death penalty for future crimes. Gov. O’Malley announced on December 31, 2014, that he would commute the sentences of the four remaining death-row inmates to life in prison without the possibility of parole. (i) The N.H. Legislature abolished the death penalty when they voted to override Gov. Sununu’s veto of the legislation on May 30, 2019. The state has only one person on death row and last carried out an execution in 1939. The abolishment of the death penalty does not apply to the one person on death row. (j) New Jersey repealed its death penalty statute in 2007. (k) Gov. Bill Richardson signed a bill in March of 2009 abolishing the death penalty. The law is not retroactive and leaves two inmates on death row. (l) The New York Court of Appeals has held that a portion of New York’s death penalty sentencing statute (C.P.L. 400.27) was unconstitutional (People v. Taylor, 9 N.Y.3d 129 (2007)). No legislative action has been taken to amend the statute. As a result, capital cases are no longer pursued in New York. (m) Oklahoma authorizes electrocution if lethal injection is held to be unconstitutional, and firing squad if both lethal injection and electrocution are held to be unconstitutional.

TA BLE 9 .3 3 Capital Punishment (continued) (n) In November 2011, Governor John Kitzhaber placed a moratorium on all executions in Oregon. An amended bill to narrow the circumstances in which the death penalty may be imposed in Oregon has passed the state senate. On May 21, 2019 the Oregon Senate passed SB 1013, which would limit the state’s use of capital punishment to three aggravating circumstances. The bill would allow prosecutors to pursue the death penalty for only three crimes: acts of terrorism in which at least two people are killed, the murder of a child younger than age 14, and murder committed in prison by a person already incarcerated for a previous murder conviction. Under Oregon’s current law, 12 aggravating factors can make a murder death-eligible. (o) Tennessee authorizes lethal injection for those whose capital offense occurred after December 31, 1998; those who committed the offense before that date may select electrocution by written waiver. (p) Authorizes firing squad if lethal injection is held unconstitutional. Inmates who selected execution by firing squad prior to May 3, 2004, may still be entitled to execution by that method. (q) Wyoming authorizes lethal gas if lethal injection is ever held to be unconstitutional.

(r) The last execution was in the 1920s. (s) In a referendum on the November 8, 2016 ballot 60 percent of Nebraska voters elect to keep the death penalty and lethal injection as state law after it had been repealed by the legislature. On January 26, 2017 Gov. Ricketts signed a flexible execution protocol, allowing acquisition of necessary drugs to resume. (t) On October 11, 2018, the Washington Supreme Court declared the state’s death penalty statute unconstitutional, saying that it was applied in an arbitrary and racially discriminatory manner. (u) Effective July 1, 2018, lethal injection will be administered unless the prisoner affirmatively chooses lethal gas or electrocution “in writing and delivered to the warden within 30 days after the certficate of judgement.” (v) Lethal injection will be administered unless the prisoner affiramtely chooses electrocution. (w) Authorizes the use of lethal gas if either lethal injection is held unconstitutional or “otherwise unavailable;” then authorizes electrocution if both of those are held unconstitutionl or “otherwise unavailable.”
