1. The state revenue estimating conference is created consisting of the governor or the governor's designee, the director of the legislative fiscal bureau, and a third member agreed to by the other two.
2. The conference shall meet as often as deemed necessary, but shall meet at least quarterly. The conference may use sources of information deemed appropriate.
3. By December 15 of each fiscal year the conference shall agree to a revenue estimate for the fiscal year beginning the following July 1. That estimate shall be used by the governor in the preparation of the budget message under section 8.22 and by the general assembly in the budget process. If the conference agrees to a different estimate at a later meeting which projects a greater amount of revenue than the initial estimate amount agreed to by December 15, the governor and the general assembly shall continue to use the initial estimate amount in the budget process for that fiscal year. However, if the conference agrees to a different estimate at a later meeting which projects a lesser amount of revenue than the initial estimate amount, the governor and the general assembly shall use the lesser amount in the budget process for that fiscal year. As used in this subsection, "later meeting" means only those later meetings which are held prior to the conclusion of the regular session of the general assembly.
4. At the meeting in which the conference agrees to the revenue estimate for the following fiscal year in accordance with the provisions of subsection 3, the conference shall agree to an estimate for tax refunds payable from that estimated revenue. The estimates required by this subsection shall be used in determining the adjusted revenue estimate under section 8.54.
5. At the meeting in which the conference agrees to the revenue estimate for the succeeding fiscal year in accordance with the provisions of subsection 3, the conference shall also agree to the following estimate which shall be used by the governor and the general assembly in preparation of the budget message under section 8.22 and the general assembly in the budget process for the succeeding fiscal year:
a. The amount of lottery revenues for the following fiscal year to be available for disbursement following the deductions made pursuant to section 99E.10, subsection 1.
b. The amount of revenue for the following fiscal year from gambling revenues and from interest earned on the cash reserve fund and the economic emergency fund to be deposited in the rebuild Iowa infrastructure fund under section 8.57, subsection 5, paragraph "e".
