伊利诺伊州上调2027财年收入预测10.79亿美元:预计盈余9.27亿美元,2028年仍面临24亿美元缺口

位于伊利诺伊州 Springfield 的州长管理与预算办公室(GOMB)11月13日发布年度伊利诺伊州经济与财政政策报告,给出该州五年财政展望与2027财年更新预测。报告称,收入表现高于预期,但该州仍在为 H.R. 1 法案带来的联邦资金削减与额外成本压力做准备。
在收入方面,2027财年前四个月收入强于预期,预算办公室把一般基金收入预测较已颁布预算的估计上调10.79亿美元;计入更新后的支出预测,该州在拟议分配与补充支出需求之前,预计有9.27亿美元盈余。报告同时提醒,近期部分收入增长来自纳税时间因素,强于预期的表现预计将在本财年余下时间趋缓,企业所得税在 H.R. 1 通过后波动尤其明显。
州长 JB Pritzker 提议把这笔一次性盈余用于应对未来的联邦削减:为补充营养援助计划(SNAP)今后的州配套要求预留资金;加强州级灾害响应资金,支持面对更频繁严重天气的社区;补充「立即拨付与政府紧急情况预算储备基金」(BRIDGE Fund)以应对突发成本;并处理补充预算需求,包括为服务不断增长的长者群体的社区项目增加资金。按这些拟议分配计算后,2027财年盈余预计为1.99亿美元。
在长期展望方面,报告称支出压力预计将持续超过收入增长;按当前收入预测与估计成本,伊利诺伊州2028财年预计面临24亿美元预算缺口,州长将于明年2月提交的2028财年预算提案将处理这一缺口。
报告还列出该州近年财政记录:在州长 JB Pritzker 任内,伊利诺伊州已获得12次信用评级上调、连续八年通过平衡预算,「雨天基金」已增至25亿美元以上。

Illinois Raises FY2027 Revenue Forecast by $1.079 Billion: $927 Million Surplus Projected, $2.4 Billion Gap Looms in FY2028
The Governor's Office of Management and Budget (GOMB) in Springfield, Illinois, released the annual Illinois Economic and Fiscal Policy Report on Nov. 13, outlining the state's five-year fiscal outlook and updated projections for fiscal year 2027. Revenues are performing above expectations, the report said, while the state continues to prepare for federal funding cuts and additional cost pressures under H.R. 1.
On revenue, following stronger performance through the first four months of fiscal year 2027, GOMB increased its General Funds revenue forecast by $1.079 billion above the enacted budget estimate. After accounting for updated expenditure projections, the state anticipates a $927 million surplus before proposed allocations and supplemental spending needs. The report cautioned that some recent revenue gains reflect the timing of tax payments and are expected to moderate over the rest of the fiscal year, and that corporate income tax collections have been particularly volatile since the passage of H.R. 1.
Governor JB Pritzker proposes using the one-time surplus to prepare for future federal cuts: setting aside funds for future state matching requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); bolstering state disaster response funds for communities facing more frequent severe weather; replenishing the Budget Reserve for Immediate Disbursement and Governmental Emergencies Fund (BRIDGE Fund); and addressing supplemental needs, including additional funding for community programs serving a growing number of older Illinoisans. After the proposed allocations, the FY2027 surplus is projected at $199 million.
On the longer outlook, spending pressures are expected to keep exceeding revenue growth. Based on current projections, Illinois faces a projected $2.4 billion budget gap for fiscal year 2028, which the governor's FY2028 budget proposal in February will address.
The report also cited the state's recent fiscal record: under Governor JB Pritzker, Illinois has earned 12 credit rating upgrades, enacted eight consecutive balanced budgets, and grown its Rainy Day Fund to more than $2.5 billion.
