The Department of Fiscal Services originated in
1947 as the Fiscal Research Bureau (Chapter 605,
Acts of 1947). By 1965, the Bureau was placed
under the General Assembly. The Bureau was reor-
ganized in 1968 as the Department of Fiscal Serv-
ices (Chapter 456, Acts of 1968). The Department
is the financial service arm of the General Assembly
and operates under the policies and directives of the
President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House
of Delegates, the Legislative Policy Committee,
and the Joint Budget and Audit Committee.
The Department provides staff services to the
fiscal committees of the Legislature and to any
commissions or committees that the General As-
sembly or the Legislative Policy Committee may
appoint to study taxation or related questions. The
Department also provides accounting, printing, bill
distribution, telecommunication, and supply serv-
ices to the General Assembly. In addition, the De-
partment administers programs for interns, pages,
and public affairs. Publications available from the
Department include the nine-volume Legislative
Handbook series and Your Voice in Annapolis.
The work of the Department is organized into
three main areas: Fiscal Services, Legislative Audits,
and Legislative Support Services.

Division of Budget Review and the Division of
Fiscal Research. The Unit analyzes operating and
capital budgets, processes budget bills, prepares
fiscal notes, and provides staff support to the fiscal
committees and various statutory and special com-
mittees of the General Assembly. The Unit also
collects and reports local government financial in
formation, prepares forecasts of revenues and ex-
penditures, undertakes management studies and
program evaluations, researches and reports on
fiscal policy issues, taxation, operation of govern-
