The Budget Policy section is the central budget office for the Executive Branch of state government. Budget Policy staff work with the Governor’s Office, Legislative committees, Legislative Fiscal Office staff, and State agencies on fiscal policy, program review, organizational issues, performance management, and the development and monitoring of state agency budgets.
The section is comprised often analyst positions. These analysts work with state agencies throughout the budget development process. Analysts help agencies apply statewide policy to build the Agency Request Budget. Analysts then examine agency requests for resources and make recommendations to the Governor for development of the Governor’s Recommended Budget. Budget Policy staff members also represent and explain the Governor’s budget recommendations to the Legislature and other groups.
Analysts also work with state agencies in the execution of their budgets. Budget Policy staff members monitor agency budget performance, approve or deny allotment of agency funds, analyze agency program and staffing requests, and make recommendations on agency requests to the legislative Emergency Board.
