What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires that every state agency, including the legislature and the

courts, submit a base budget review report once every third biennium. The report

must include a description of each programmatic activity of the agency and provide

for each programmatic activity an accounting, by fund source, of expenditures for the

prior three fiscal years and for the last two quarters of each of the prior three fiscal

years. Under the bill, the secretary of administration must develop categories for

state agencies to use in organizing the required expenditure information.

The bill provides that the reports must be included with state agency budget

requests and submitted to the Department of Administration and the Legislative

Fiscal Bureau by September 15, of the even-numbered year in which an agency is

required to prepare a base budget review report. Under the bill, the secretary of

administration, beginning with agency budget requests submitted for the 2019-21

biennium, must select one-third of all state agencies to submit the required base

budget review information for that biennial budget. In addition, the bill requires

that for the 2021-23 biennium, the secretary select half of the remaining agencies

to submit their base budget review information for that biennium and stipulate that

the remaining agencies would then be required to submit base budget review

information for the 2023-25 biennial budget. The cycle would then be repeated in

succeeding biennia.
