Budget Law With Strong Teeth Is One of Important Features Of Florida's Fiscal System
In Florida the new budget system, effective June 15, places the governor, comptroller, and state treasurer on the budget commission. Departments must report by January 15 with itemized needs for two years, while the comptroller provides detailed state and judiciary estimates. The commission analyzes and purges these items, holds public hearings, and the legislature codes a joint budget committee process for open sessions. Florida ties highway funding to a robust state aid system and plans road projects prioritized over ad hoc building, unlike Georgia.
