State Budget.

(1) The California Constitution requires the Governor to submit annually to the Legislature a budget itemizing state expenditures and estimating state revenues and requires the Legislature to pass the Budget Bill by midnight on June 15. This bill would require that the budget submitted by the Governor to the Legislature for the 2014–15 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter be developed pursuant to performance-based budgeting, as defined, for each state agency. (2) Under existing law, a state agency for which an appropriation is made is generally 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. The bill would require the budget of a state agency, as defined, submitted to the department to utilize performance-based budgeting, for all programs, as defined. The bill would authorize a joint committee, utilizing the recommendations of specified entities, to propose changes to those programs. The bill also would establish a task force comprised of the Director of Finance, the Controller, and the chairpersons and vice chairpersons of the Senate Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review and Assembly Committee on Budget to develop performance-based budgeting guidelines and procedures, including a process for phasing in requirements of performance-based budgeting, and to review and comment on a training and education program for state agency personnel involved in the budget process developed by the Department of Finance.
