Budget changes proposed by Senate bill would reshape budgeting timing
Sen. Thomas L. Moore plans to file a bill by Nov. 17 to pre-file the budget in the Senate and create a joint appropriations process. The proposal aims to give all lawmakers more time to review spending matters, moving budgeting earlier in the session rather than awaiting the House an amended annual spending bill.
