The bill amends Section 4-7-7 of South Dakota law to revise the timeline for budget request submissions by budget unit heads. The new requirement stipulates that budget unit heads must submit their financial budget requests and any changes to the current fiscal year to the Bureau of Finance and Management by September first each year, replacing the previous deadline of October fifteenth. Additionally, if the budget unit has a board or commission, their approval of the budget requests is now mandated prior to submission.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that the Bureau of Finance and Management must transmit the budget request data, along with explanatory information, to the Legislative Research Council by October first, which is a change from the previous requirement of November first. These amendments aim to streamline the budget request process and ensure timely communication with the Legislative Research Council.
