STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31021 / S1312
This legislation creates parity and consistency for budget deadlines in all three branches of government.
Currently, only executive branch agencies are required to meet a September 1st deadline to submit budget
requests. Aligning the deadlines for all budgets, with limited exceptions, will create efficiency in budget
preparation and review for budget development. There is no specific penalty for not meeting this requirement
since it is understood that all branches of government are required to follow statutes.
FISCAL NOTE
No additional funds are required because agencies, courts, and the legislature are already required to submit
budget requests. This simply creates a requirement to meet a consistent deadline.
