Budget power shifts to governor in proposed reform
Statehouse moves to enact road bond measures as House and Senate consider joint resolutions to overhaul biennial budgeting. Proposals would entrust budget preparation to the governor, allow veto of items, and let the legislature adjust line items with a majority override. If approved, changes would require a constitutional amendment and shift the budget system away from the current budget commission. The road bond bill, backed by the administration, heads to a special order for debate as lawmakers begin to act on the governor’s aims.
