Bill > HB3101

This bill amends the General Assembly Operations Act by modifying the Legislative Budget Oversight Commission's reporting requirements. The bill removes previous provisions related to COVID-19 pandemic budget relief programs and federal grant distributions, while maintaining the commission's core purpose of monitoring budget management actions. Specifically, the bill updates the commission's monthly report to compare year-to-date general funds expenditures with the preceding fiscal year's budget, instead of the previous Fiscal Year 2021 budget. The commission will continue to consist of 22 members from the House of Representatives and Senate (appointed proportionally by leadership), who will serve without compensation. The bill includes a provision stating that the section shall be deemed to have been in continuous effect since July 1, 2024, and validates all actions taken under this section. The changes essentially streamline the commission's oversight responsibilities by removing outdated pandemic-related language while preserving its fundamental role in budget monitoring and communication between the Governor's Office and the General Assembly.
