Budget committee shifts study to budgeting reforms for state universities
DES MOINES UPI The Budget and Financial Control Committee voted 6-2 to confine university study to new budgeting procedures and hand it to the Office of Planning and Programming and the State Comptroller. The move delays a full social adaptability inquiry, with the Board of Regents expected to back the budgeting study. Senator Messerly opposes the shift, while Senator Flatt says the study will be reviewed again in December and possibly urged for 1970 legislation. The new system will focus on results rather than inputs, aiming for immediate implementation before 1971 budget cycles.
