HB 3857

Abstract

Amends the State Budget Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Provides that, beginning in fiscal year 2025, the Governor shall consult with the Budgeting for Results Commission (rather than the appropriation committees of the General Assembly) to (i) identify statewide result areas (rather than prioritize outcomes) that are most important for each State agency of the executive branch under the jurisdiction of the Governor to achieve for the next fiscal year and (ii) identify outcome areas, which further define the statewide result areas, into which State programs and associated spending can be categorized (rather than set goals to accomplish those outcomes according to the priority of the outcome). Makes changes to the yearly commission that the Governor establishes (naming the commission the Budgeting for Results Commission) and makes other changes in how the Commission operates. Replaces instances of "statewide goals" with "statewide result and outcome areas". Makes other changes.
