DIGEST
SB 342 Engrossed 2018 Regular Session Donahue
Present law provides for the development of a nondiscretionary adjusted standstill budget for the
ensuing fiscal year consisting of an agency's existing operating budget as of Dec. 1 plus any
mandatory statewide standard adjustments provided for in the continuation budget plus the
mandatory growth in nondiscretionary expenditures.
Proposed law retains present law and further requires that the nondiscretionary adjusted standstill
budget include any means of financing substitutions that do not result in a net increase or decrease
in the budget unit's total budget and are necessary to finance a budget unit's current-year existing
operating budget as of Dec. 1 in the ensuing fiscal year prior to the application of any other
adjustments.
Effective August 1, 2018.
