Information in this report was derived from responses to a PEER questionnaire mailed to state agencies and budget units in August 1979. The questionnaire accumulated very broad information, ranging from historical percentage increases in agency funding by source to basic agency personnel policies. The report provided a general profile of each agency and quick access to their important characteristics and practices.
Questionnaire responses were presented for the following functions: Legislative; Judiciary and Justice; Executive and Administrative; Fiscal Affairs; Public Education; Higher Education; Public Health; Hospitals and Hospital Schools; Agriculture and Commerce; Conservation; Insurance and Banking; Corrections; Social Welfare; Military, Police, and Veterans Affairs; Miscellaneous; Public Works; and Special Fund Agencies.
