What changed in the latest version
176 added · 62 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent amendment to SB 1981 changes the timeline for when the Governor must submit the State budget, establishing that it should be done by the third Wednesday in February each year. This adjustment aims to provide lawmakers with more time to review the budget before the start of the fiscal year, promoting better planning and allocation of resources. Additionally, it removes a previous requirement for the annual economic report to include detailed projections of fund balances for each fund held in the State treasury, which simplifies the reporting process. These changes are important as they could lead to more efficient budgeting and transparency in state finances.
