Estimates for the State General Fund (SGF) are developed using a consensus process that involves the Division of the Budget, Kansas Legislative Research Department, Department of Revenue, and three consulting economists from state universities. This estimate is the base from which the Governor and the Legislature build the annual budget. Consensus revenue estimates are based on current federal and state laws as ultimately interpreted by the courts.
The Consensus Revenue Estimating Group (CRE Group) met on April 20, 2026, and decreased the overall estimate for FY 2026 and FY 2027 by a combined $54.7 million relative to the previous estimate made in November. The estimate for total taxes was decreased by $187.5 million, and other revenues were increased by $132.8 million for the two years combined. The revised estimates incorporate the fiscal effect of all 2026 legislation signed into law through April 20, 2026. Table 1 compares the revised estimates for FY 2026 and FY 2027 with actual receipts from FY 2025.
