2009-S377 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo
BILL NUMBER: S377 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the state finance law, in relation to the fiscal year of the state and repealing section 3 of such law relating thereto PURPOSE : This legislation repeals section three of the state finance law and adds a new section three, designating the first day of June as the commencement of the state's fiscal year. This legislation also designates that by April 15th of each year, the Legislature must adopt a joint resolution that contains the maximum appropriation to each state agency for state operations, local assistance and capital construction. JUSTIFICATION : The current April 1st deadline for passage of the state budget only gives the Legislature three months to analyze the Governor's budget. Additionally, after a gubernatorial election year, the Governor does not have to submit his budget until February 1st, which gives the Legislature only two months to pass it. Another advantage of a later passage date is that it will give the legislature a more accurate estimate of tax receipts which were filed by April 15th. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
