What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
The federal Budget Control Act of 2011, as amended, requires a reduction in
federal discretionary spending beginning on March 1, 2013. This reduction in
federal spending, otherwise known as a sequester, will result in a reduction of federal
funds available to the states for the remainder of the 2012-13 federal fiscal year,
which ends on September 30, 2013, and potentially into future years. This bill
requires the governor to prepare a bill that incorporates all proposed expenditure
reductions resulting from the sequester of federal spending under the Budget
Control Act of 2011. The governor must submit the bill to the legislature, and the
bill must be introduced without change in either house of the legislature by the Joint
Committee on Finance and must be referred to that committee. The governor may
not implement any expenditure reductions resulting from the sequester of federal
spending under the Budget Control Act of 2011 unless authorized by law.
