Description

In order to further provide for efficient and effective budgeting of the revenues of the state, this bill amends the Budget Management Act of 1976 so as to provide for biennial budget periods, annual fiscal accounting, and performance review. Provision is made for the State General and Education biennial budgets to be considered on alternate years, enrolling sufficient financial detail into each budget so as to adequately define each source of revenue and totals for each budgeted program, cost center, and line item in each budget and the entire appropriation bill by each source of revenue, and to further provide for performance review of the state agencies, departments, boards, bureaus, the Legislature, and institutions of the state. This bill becoming law is contingent upon the constitutional amendment proposed by HB ___ providing for biennial budgeting sessions of the legislature and approval in a statewide referendum as is provided for in law governing such election.
