2.2designees of the chairs of the senate Finance and house of representatives Ways and Means
2.3Committees. The commissioner must involve this group in all stages of development of
2.4budget forms and instructions. The budget format must show actual expenditures and
2.5receipts for the most recent fiscal year, estimated expenditures and receipts for the current
2.6fiscal year, and estimates for each fiscal year of the next biennium. Estimated expenditures

2.17their programs and activities; and
