RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 440 (SB 159) 2019 Regular Session Donahue
Prior law required the division of administration to develop a "cost recovery" budget request
form to be completed by each budget unit in the executive branch of state government,
except those in higher education agencies in which case the Board of Regents shall develop
such form.
Prior law provided that the form shall require the budget unit to provide information
regarding:
(1)The fees authorized for collection by the budget unit that are requested to be
appropriated in the General Appropriation Bill as part of the unit's operating budget.
(2)The prior fiscal year's actual revenue generated from fees as well as actual
expenditures associated with providing the service or performing the activity; report
the current fiscal year's budget authority and anticipated expenditures; report the next
fiscal year's requested budget authority and projected expenditures.
(3)A summary description of service or activity funded by the fee and the legal authority
for the fee.
(4)Performance indicator data associated with the service or activity.
(5)Historical data on revenue generated and expenditures.
(6)A recommendation on apportionment of funding between the state and the particular
user group.
New law provides that the legislative auditor shall review the cost recovery budget request
forms completed for each budget unit in the executive branch of state government as
provided in prior law, at least once every four years. The legislative auditor is to report his
findings to the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget.
Effective upon signature of the governor (June 22, 2019).
