This bill amends the deadline for the Governor to transmit the budget message for the Fiscal Year 2027 to the Legislature, changing the date from the fourth Tuesday in February to March 10, 2026. This adjustment is made to allow for additional time in preparing the budget message, which is a common practice that has been utilized in the past for the initial budget messages of new Governors.

The bill states that, notwithstanding any other laws, the Governor is required to submit the budget message by the new deadline of March 10, 2026. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
