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 $60.8 million All Funds ($34.4 million General Fund and $26.4 million Other Funds) for the Division of the Budget. This is an overall decrease of $40.5 million, due to a $40 million reduction in the Statewide Financial System Program and a $510,000 decrease in other Nonpersonal services.
The Executive Budget recommends a staffing level of 365 FTEs for the Division of the Budget, unchanged from the 2008-09 budget.
Major budget actions include:
- Statewide Financial System: 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 in development, with project teams and agency stakeholders designing a statewide Chart of Accounts, accounting ledgers, and procurement services - including the creation of a statewide vendor file. The project teams will focus on travel expense processing, grants processing, and budget development in the coming months. The joint governance structure established a year ago continues to manage the project teams and ensure successful implementation.
