Agencies Get 2007-09 Budget
Instructions
Gov. Doyle outlined parameters for the 2007-09
Biennial Budget in a May 26 letter to
agency heads. The Major Budget Policies and Budget Instructions
that are attached to his letter call for most agencies to hold their
overall fiscal years 2007-08 and 2008-09 General Purpose Revenue
(GPR) to FY 2006-07 levels. In addition, most agencies are directed
to reduce nonfederally-funded administrative expenses by 10
percent.
The agencies are preparing
their budget requests now to meet a Sept. 15, 2006 deadline, at
which time the Governor, with the Department of Administration (DOA)
support, will undertake his formal review. We expect the budget bill
to be introduced in late January or early February of 2007. The
Hamilton Consulting Group will keep our Tidbits subscribers
apprised of this critical process throughout 2006.
