What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, there is no requirement that the executive budget bill be prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). GAAP are those principles for state and local governments adopted by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). Organized in 1984, GASB is an independent organization founded to establish standards of financial accounting and reporting for state and local governmental entities. Its standards generally guide the preparation of external financial reports of those entities.
Under this bill, each biennium, in addition to the executive budget bill or bills prepared based on the standards applicable under current law, the Department of Administration is required to prepare an executive budget bill or bills according to GAAP.
