Existing law authorizes the department to require certain state agencies to produce financial and statistical reports, as specified. This bill would require the Department of Finance, on or before January 1, 2026, to compile a list of all state agencies and to split the list into 15 sections with each section equally distributing state agencies across the legislative budget subcommittees, as specified. The bill would require the department, on January 1, 2027, to publish on its internet website the full list of state agencies, as described above. The bill would require the department, on January 1, 2027, and annually thereafter, to publish a list of which section of state agencies is required to develop its budget using a zero-based budgeting method, as defined. The bill, commencing January 1, 2027, would require each state agency, as specified, to develop its budget based on a zero-based budgeting method for review during the budget process, as prescribed. In developing its budget based on a zero-based budgeting method, the bill would require, among other things, representatives from each state agency to work with the department to submit a report, as specified, to the Senate Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, the Assembly Committee on Budget, and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee.
