The Board of Revenue Estimates and the Bureau of Revenue Esti-
mates were created in 1945. The Board is composed of the Comp-
troller of the Treasury, the State Treasurer, and the Director of
Budget and Procurement. It studies the findings and recommenda-
tions of the Bureau and then sends to the Governor, for submission
to the General Assembly, an itemized statement of anticipated rev-
enues for the succeeding fiscal year, together with its recommenda-
tions. The Bureau studies and analyzes all sources of revenue, pre-
pares for the Board the findings for the itemized statement of anti-
cipated revenue, devises equitable and economical means of collec-
tion of such revenue, and devises and recommends new sources of
revenue (Code 1951, Art. 41, sec. 166).

The Chief of the Bureau of Revenue Estimates, in conjunction with
the State Comptroller's office, prepares and submits to the members
of the General Assembly by the end of the months of January and
July in each year an itemized statement showing the following in-
formation for the six-month period ending on the next preceding
December 31 or June 30, as the case may be: (1) estimated revenue
from all sources, by funds, for the current budget period; (2) col-
lections for the next preceding six-month period; and (3) amount
of revenues uncollected or over-collected (Code 1951, Art. 41, sec.
