Generally revise state finance laws to provide zero base budgeting

This bill (LC 683) proposed replacing the state's traditional budgeting approach with zero-based budgeting, requiring all state agencies to justify every expense annually instead of carrying over prior-year funding. It would have directly affected state agencies, budget committees, and legislators responsible for allocating funds. The bill died in process on May 22, 2025, and never became law, so these changes were never implemented.
