1957-59 Advisory Council on Financing
The Advisory Council of 1957-58 was mandated as part of the 1956 Amendments.
The Amendments directed the appointment of the Council and mandated that
Councils would thereafter be appointed on a regular basis just prior to
any scheduled tax increase in the law. This was the first Council established
as part of a permanent, ongoing, function. All prior Councils had been
ad-hoc creations, either of the Executive or the Legislative Branch, and
sometimes both.
