A base budget is defined as the total amount appropriated in the annual general appropriation act and other legislation enacted in the prior state fiscal year plus:Out-year costs or savings from legislation adopted in prior years that were not included in the appropriations for the preceding state fiscal year; and Budget adjustments from prior years that were not included in the appropriations for the preceding state fiscal year.A state agency is required to submit its base budget using a format agreed upon by state agencies and the office, in coordination with joint budget committee staff.     The act also requires the director of the office, in collaboration with the executive director of the department of personnel, to provide information related to the office's calculations for common policies, as annually submitted in the governor's November 1 budget request, to the departments, institutions, and agencies of the executive, judicial, and legislative branches of state government as soon as practicable prior to the submission of the November 1 budget request.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
