Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget
|
The Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget (JLCB)
is composed of the members of the House
Committee on Appropriations, the Senate
Finance Committee, and the Chairman of the House
Committee on Ways and Means, and the Senate
Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee.
The committee may hold public hearings each year to
review agency budget requests and the recommended
executive budget and report its findings and
recommendations two weeks prior to each regular
legislative session. During the interim, the
committee is authorized to approve or disapprove
transfers of funds and to approve requests for use of
interest earnings and for change orders for capital
constructions projects. The committee is often
extended broad authority to interpret and oversee
implementation of legislative intent in regard to fiscal
and budgetary matters.
