The ninety-day response period used in this record is established by the equalization reporting statute. Section 12.6 requires a published response within the statutory period; the underlying constitutional duties and judicial remedies continue independently.
The Executive Monitor reports no identified noncompliance of the equalization mechanism in this review. Distributions follow the current statute. That fact alone would not establish constitutional sufficiency: §12.6 also requires fiscal capacity reasonably sufficient for Social State and Article I obligations. The report’s additional data may support further review; publication of it does not itself reverse the present no-noncompliance finding.
The Executive Monitor is not limited by §12.6 to a binary certification and includes the following data as context for the Legislature's own consideration, without characterizing it as a failure finding.
| Measure | Year 10 | Year 13 |
|---|---|---|
| Territories with capacity requests pending >3 years | 2 | 5 |
| Median request-to-funding interval, Territories | 2.1 years | 4.4 years |
| Median request-to-funding interval, disadvantaged States | 1.8 years | 2.0 years |
| Temporary infrastructure authorizations exceeding 3 renewals | 4 | 11 |
The gap between the Territory median and the disadvantaged-State median has widened in each of the last four annual certifications. The mechanism's formula does not distinguish between a request that clears in two years and one that clears in six; both are recorded identically as "funded." This certification is the first to include the underlying interval data rather than the funding outcome alone, at the Joint Committee's specific request.
Because no failure is found, the 90-day Legislative response period under §12.6 is not triggered. The supplementary data is provided for the Joint Committee's use in its ongoing review and does not itself require any legislative act.
End of record.
