Innovative Programs in Funding State
Homeland Security Needs
|
 |
Despite heightened threats and increasing federal requirements on state homeland security departments, federal funding of state homeland security programs continues to diminish. This SLC Special Series Report explores the ways in which states have begun to address this crisis. The report, sectioned into three parts, includes an examination of the status of federal homeland security funding to states; the public safety aspects of homeland security and emergency management within state borders; and the innovative programs that states have developed to sufficiently protect their citizens with dwindling federal funds.

Regional Resources
Issued periodically throughout the year, SLC's Regional Resources series provides background and status information on a wide array of public policy issues currently being addressed by the Conference's standing committees and by state legislatures across the South. Recent publications in this series have dealt with the U.S. farm bill; No Child Left Behind Act; landfill gas as a fuel source; and aging inmate populations.
Comparative Data Reports
These reports are prepared annually by select SLC states' fiscal research departments. Because the reports track a multitude of revenue sources and appropriations levels in Southern states, they provide a useful tool to legislators and legislative staff alike as they determine their own state spending. The reports are presented each fall and analyze state tax structures and revenue forecasts, adult correctional systems, K-12 educational systems, state transportation programs and Medicaid spending. These reports are prepared under the auspices of the Conference's Fiscal Affairs and Government Operations Committee.
SLC Special Series Reports
Prepared several times annually, these reports are designed to give in-depth treatment to a key issue or governmental problem with which Southern states are grappling. Recent reports in this series include Innovative Programs in Funding State Homeland Security Needs, Doing the Math: Southern State School Finance Systems, and From Blues to Benton to Bluegrass: The Economic Impact of the Arts in SLC States. Earlier Special Series Reports have addressed the implications of the trade relationship between Latin America and the South; telecommunications; redistricting; aging inmate populations; legislative committee structure and staffing patterns; and language diversity in Southern schools.
