Bill > HB1588

This bill modifies the existing law regarding state agency budget proposal requirements by updating the process for submitting budget estimates. Under the revised law, each state department must submit budget estimates to the budget director by October 1st each year, with estimates to be prepared on forms jointly prescribed by the house budget chair and senate appropriation chair. The bill requires more detailed and comprehensive budget submissions, including estimates for each subdepartment, division, and bureau, with separate estimates for each fiscal year and fund source. Departments must now provide more granular information about their budget needs, including a breakdown of ordinary, extraordinary, and capital expenditures, with detailed explanations for extraordinary and capital expenses. For federally funded programs, agencies must now include the federal program number, required federal and state funds, program objectives, and other requested information. The bill aims to enhance legislative oversight and transparency by mandating more precise and informative budget estimate documentation from state agencies.
