Under existing statutory law, every state agency and court for which an appropriation is made is required to submit to the Department of Finance for approval, a complete and detailed budget setting forth all proposed expenditures and estimated revenues for the ensuing fiscal year. This bill would require that this budget, as submitted for each ensuing fiscal year that begins in an odd-numbered year, commencing with the 2011-12 fiscal year, be accompanied by a budget plan that sets forth proposed expenditures and estimated revenues for the immediately following fiscal year.
