Establishes requirements for preparation and final passage of annual appropriations act; incorporates multi-year revenue and expenditure projections for informational purposes.
This bill (A 3993) establishes new procedural requirements for New Jersey's annual state budget process. It mandates that the appropriations bill must be introduced by June 1 before the fiscal year, include 14 days of public notice with a required hearing, and provide clear explanations for any significant budget changes compared to the Governor's recommendations. The bill also requires state agencies to submit multi-year revenue and expenditure projections (for the current and next two fiscal years) as informational data for the Governor's budget proposals. These changes apply directly to the New Jersey Legislature, budget committees, and state agencies responsible for submitting funding requests. The bill does not alter actual spending amounts but changes the timeline and transparency of the budget approval process.
