Bill Summary

For legislation relative to zero-based budgeting and budget transparency. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to implement a process of zero-based budgeting for state agencies and departments in Massachusetts. The Secretary of Administration and Finance would be required to develop and submit a zero-based budget to the legislature every four years, which would reflect the funding deemed necessary to achieve the most cost-effective performance of each agency or department based on their tasks and goals. The legislative committees and the Ways and Means Committees would then review and develop a final zero-based budget estimate, which would be employed in evaluating each annual budget for the following four years.
