Mission
The Division of the Budget is responsible for assisting the Governor in the development of the Executive Budget and executes the budget as adopted by the Legislature. The Division also serves as the Governor's primary advisor on such fiscal matters as local government and public authority finances.
Budget Highlights
The Executive Budget recommends $99.3 million in All Funds ($33.4 million General Fund and $65.9 million Other Funds) for the Division of the Budget. This is an overall decrease of $10.0 million in Other Funds due to a reduction in the Statewide Financial System Program.
The Executive Budget recommends a staffing level of 385 FTEs for the Division of the Budget, an increase of 20 from the 2007-08 budget. This increase reflects additional positions for the Statewide Financial System Program. It also provides for new information technology positions, thereby reducing reliance on consultants.
Major budget actions include:
- Statewide Financial System: Appropriations and reappropriations totaling $129.2 million are included to continue the development of a financial system for the State, to be used by the Office of the State Comptroller, the Division of the Budget and State agencies. This new system will integrate the State's financial transactions, improving the efficiency of government operations and providing detailed information on State finances from a single consolidated source. The system is expected to be phased in over several years. A preliminary plan to implement this statewide system has been developed and a joint governance structure is in place to ensure successful implementation.
